I feel horrible. I made it so that theres 1000 titans, I made minimum savagery 70 and I set history to be ridiculously long. I stopped it around 2800 years, and then I read legends.. I'm having a hard time finding historical figured that aren't dead from horrific manners, all of them have spouses that have been horribly murdered or starved to death, some took to wandering the wilderness to starvation from the horrors. Any particular titan has +300 'notable' kills. Just the idea of a homeless human wandering around the country side, driven to madness by loved ones being ripped apart by an ettin while their one year old child starves to death, and this happening in every single civ I made..

WHAT HAVE I DONE

I guess you just won legends mode 

It sounds like an interesting world for hardcore-adventurers... care to post a few especially gruesome examples of your findings?

[Trapezohedron]

Don't you worry, there's still a ton of unmarked peasants around the world. You shouldn't fear at all...

Zepave and Liyiyi

Elves, sure, but they were married. And both died in the same year they were married. Starved to death. I can only imagine that they were crowded in their starvation, two lovers, and gave each other their vows before promptly dying this slow, prelonged death.

Mim and Togi

Mim was killed by a Twilight Monster, just a year later the widow he left died of starvation.

I can't find history on how her husband died, beyond knowing that after his death she began wandering the depths of the world, taming random creatures, such as rutherers. She then starved to death.

Theres also the record of an Elf princess being smashed to bits by a Cyclops..

And Upu, who had a couple pages of encounters she narrowly escaped, until after her husband died, then she just kind of was struck down by a simple night monster, where so many beasts had failed. Dragons, Cyclops..

I cant seem to find the specific one of a human spouse being killed by an ettin, the other spouse wandering the wilderness until they die of starvation and then their one year old child dying of starvation as well.


Its just, there are so many dead elves.. and so few living ANYTHING. other then titans, lots of living titans. its mostly dead elves and dead goblins, some dead humans a few dead dwarfs. But they all starved to death, had family members starve to death and then die to a megabeast, or everyone starves to death then their children are killed by a megabeast, or all three happen at once. And reading the descriptors of what they take to doing after their families are slaughtered.. they just start roaming the world. Under or overworld, until some tragic end befalls them.

edit: not to say scores of dead elves are bad, of course.

Now that is just awesome.

The Machine of Dashing, this Dwarven civilization survived 100 years. 100 years, theres pages of titans attacking the fortress, goblin attacks constantly held off until a combination of both Titans and Goblins saw the last two dwarves impaled on silver pikes. One was the Queen of The Machine of Dashing, her life was unremarkable until she became queen, and then when she was impaled on the pikes.

But the other dwarf with her was more notable. Kib Hammerstop, born in 68 to an unknown parentage. She became general of The Machine of Dashing at the age of 61, and in 4 years she successfully defended against 4 sieges. After this success, she took to wandering the underworld, taming a voracious cave crawler of all things. When she returned, she had one last siege to defend against. The last siege for the entire civilization. After that its history ended, Kib passed with a measly 14 kills. Impaled on a pike next to the Queen.

Then theres scores of other civs, ended through mundane things like starvation.. all the dwarves seem to be (mostly) dead, though I'm not sure if they just stopped dying because they got safe or if they got dead, elves are dying en masse, humans are holding on (worldmap shows like a crapload of human forts).. goblins are the same as dwarves. All the members of this world have ever known is failure, failure and death.. its horrible

Actually; looking more into legends, only 3 mountain homes survive. 3 mountain homes, whose history spans the entire 2800 years of what was generated. Every year full of bloodshed.

[Tiruin]

Any titan/megabeast with the most kills? Anyone still alive that is notable at all? Surely there must be that one survivor besting the odds out there.

[zehive]

One megabeast has 491 kills.. its impossible to sift through, theres so much death. There was only 2,000 historical figures left alive when I finished world gen, and about 1,000 of those are titans..

EDIT: and now I genned a pocket world out to 10,000 years. The only living creatures are megabeasts, titans, semimegabeasts and some trolls. Everything else dies within 30 years of birth..

[Tiruin]

     Try making an adventurer in the first ~50 years. Tell us how bad it is, what is the seed by the way, I really want to try it out.

This reminds me of Buffy somehow. Can't wait for the night creatures thingy.

you mean... we live in SOME KIND OF GAME ? OMG

[Julien Brightside]

Sounds like the dwarf fortress version of Warhammer 40k.

"In Zehives world there is only war."

[Koronii]

Actually, that sounds rather typical to me, rulers are always dying of starvation in my games, and everyone one that isn't dead will have a few relatives killed by a monster.

[Makbeth]

Sounds like a good place for a succession fort.  When every dwarven settlement in the world is already halfway to being Boatmurdered...
