40d question: How do I prevent the world from going into the age of heroes?
« on: June 25, 2011, 10:03:48 am »
The age of heroes is the age where powerful beasts are starting to become extinct. It ALWAYS seems to happen and I have no clue as to how I can stop it.

That's what I do. The age of heroes seems to kick in about 200 years in.

Try ending sooner than that. In my experience 40d never liked going on for much past 200 anyway.

If dwarves decided to live in trees like hippies, they'd still do it better than the elves.

Is that the age where most megabeasts are dead? You can always modify them to be more dangerous/larger/etc to increase their ability to kill/survive. Would that suffice for your purposes?

give megabeasts [CANLEARN] and [NOPAIN] and [NOEXERTION], maybe increase their size too.  Lack of stats and criticals are what get megabeasts killed, but you can't do much about criticals.
