I am really intrigued by the history generation in Dwarf Fortress. Can anyone give me a basic rundown on how its generated?

[Trapezohedron]

The battles in worldgen has three different factors.

One, how a race of etc fights the other etc depends on the entity tags (found in entity_default)

Two, how a battle is played out is turn based. By that, I mean they don't fight simultanously, they fight one on one until one of them dies, then someone takes the dead guy's place and ot repeats.

Skills have something to play in the fights. A guy with natural sword skills will fare better in combat than a purely unskilled one.

That's all I know.

Equipment and size helps as well. Syndromes do not, but dragonfire and possibly webs do.
But skill plays a huge role, just adding a little bit of natural sword or fighter or whatever to a race will cause it to dominate from what I've seen.
