Could use better audio quality, but ok.

His hypothesis is that it's something to do with the fireball vigor, while I've heard it could also be the doom coal.

I agree fully on the audio quality - most videos I can understand at around volume 12, but for these I have to boost it up to 50 or higher to hear the words clearly enough to understand. Interesting for the most part when I can, though.

As for the cause, I'm going to say doom coal, unless I seriously messed up with the fireball vigor. Vigors should be at normal room temperature and boil/combust/change somehow with heat in a negative fashion at alcohol-like temperatures.

Aseaheru, check that caravan for burning doom coal.

If the doom coal ignites the vigor, there could be some uncertainty there, though. Ideally, you'd need to catch the caravan early enough that only the initial culprit was in flames.

Check anyways, Aseaheru. It may not be too late!

It has happened to every fort of mine in this, all twenty. Do they all have doom coal?

If the doom coal is what is actually causing the issue, then yeah, though the jury's still out on that one. Whatever is causing it was definitely on all those caravans.

I don't think anybody has, really, except for that guy who poked the reaver ant hill a while back. Not like there's too much down there right now, anyways - just some kind of flaming horsemen, spiders that spin webs of purest gold, endless swarms of carnivorous ants, giant mold...fairly standard stuff, really. Someone needs to add something more creative to them soon.

Well, we have a race and a half that will be messing with them soon.

Perhaps we can get two new teas? Something cold and something dark?

Heck, if we get a grain that when ground we also get straw to make things with that would be cool.

Need to fix current tea to produce seeds when processed. Would have been better to just make it brewable instead of adding that intervening dry stage.

I think I'll DL this and see what kind of world comes from a 10,000 year history.  I always enjoy histories that favor one rtace then the next, not the usual "golden age" for 7,000 years, filled with temples that are built and destroyed year after year.

I usually see 10,000 years of Myth. But haven't tried on this mod. Do tell me what happens to the Adherents (Psionics) by the end.

That IS odd.  Even with Titans turned off, I'm still seeing the "Age of Myth" past year 500.  What flags determine this in vanilla DF, I wonder?

I've set the site cap to -1, but to keep my RAM from crying too hard, set pop cap to 1.  Doing this in Vanilla doesn't seem to hamper the civ from expanding organically during world-gen.  There are just far fewer "bit players" floating around (the histories become that much more of a heroic read.)

I'm going to turn off megabeasts and see if that affects anything...
Nope - even with Titans, megas and semi-megas turned off, we still get continual Age of Myth.  How very mysterious.

I'll let it run the full course this time, with only the various peoples of the world to contest it.

That'll be the vampires. With ten thousand years of history, more than a few halflings' prayers to the dark gods are bound to be answered.
