In all honesty, I am tried of the age of myth never ending and want some more creative ages. Perhaps the age of myth ends after some point in time? If you have your own idea of how it should be, please tell me.

Changed it 10,000 years.

2161 and it's STILL the age of myth. 

I was checking the RAWS one day when i found this

who was too short to live
who tunneled away from me like a frightened mole
who sucked plump helmets like a purring maggot
whose hammer shattered on the anvil of my power
who forged [PRO_POS] own doom by challenging me
who was returned to the rock and muck from which it was spawned
whose tall tales of bravery were all the more embarrassing because of [PRO_POS] height
Can some one tell me what this is?

I can kind of see something with skilled craftsdwarves improving items and maybe passing their secrets down to apprentices.

For instance, urist mcboyer gets a strange mood and comes up with a crossbow design that does +10% damage.  Now ever crossbow he makes will be an urist crossbow and have the same bonus.  He could take on apprentices who, after a time, could learn how to make this improved crossbow.  I feel that kind of thing could add a lot of depth to the game and make older fortresses more interesting.  It would also allow cool things like having apprentices from previous or other forts show up as immigrants and pass the knowledge along.  It would probably have to be pretty rare so the world doesn't get flooded with URIST brand crossbows and ZOLTIG brand swords.  Normal equipment should be the norm. 

As far as technology goes, I can see this happening.

what would happen at the year 1,000,000? I don't think toady would like making this a future game. Also, wheres the fun in not being to be able to mine magma for years?

Game crashed. D: I'll try with a smaller world now.

It managed to get to Y11453 for me once, but froze there.

Wow, that must've sucked.
