I thought it was the Golden Age? Or is that when everyone is at peace?

Because whenever I force the world to gen to a really late date, it always ends up in the golden age.

It always ends up as the age of the elf, because the bastards overrun the world after everyone else dies.

If a demon or a megabeast has went on a huge killing spree and hasn't been stopped, it becomes the Age of the ___

I've only seen the Age with megabeast or demon in pocket worlds.

Exactly how long are some of you genning these worlds?

I genned a 2008 once last year, and there was a city full of super legendary humans who still only manage to break even with the elves. It was STILL the age of heroes

Age of Myth is when all the megabeasts are dead, and they may as well have been myth.

Age of Heroes is 'when the last of the world's powers are fighting their final battles' or something like that. Very few megabeasts.

Age of (megabeast/demon) is when there's one beast who just single-handedly is better than everyone else.

Age of (two beasts/demons) is when there are two of them at the same time.

Age of (race) is when that race is the dominant race and nobody can touch them. It usually ends up elves because they're everywhere, bastards.

Golden Age is when everyone is peaceful for once. No megabeasts, no wars, no worries!

There's also the Age of Twilight when there's hardly any named creatures left alive in the entire world. Age of (race) triggers when it's pretty much only that race left.

I get 'Age of Fairy Tales' in my mod. It's just when world is 'at normal' (occasional wars and stuff) and it's been long (tens/hundreds of years?) since all megabeasts and semimegabeasts died.

It goes:
Age of Myth (mythical beasts, woohoo!) -> Age of Legends -> Age of Heroes (just few left) -> Age of Fairy Tales.

I must go and check if 'Age of Civilization' was really there or I was having hallucinations.

We should make a compiled list of possible 'Ages', stuff it into Wiki and voila.

*I will go and try to get screenies.

EDIT: Here it is, 'The Age of Fairy Tales'!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Last Megabeast died: 163.
Last Semimegabeast died: 169.

EDITEDIT: Still working on getting 'Age of Civilization'.

I must test what happens when everything everywhere dies.
I'll gen a pocket world and use an adventurer to kill everyone.
