It would be really cool if, similar to a game of civilization or master of magic, there was a mode that could show the movement of important characters and wars across the world map. Basically a cinematic world gen mode. we have kaiiju, right? well we need to put them to work.

Look, kaiju deserve jobs just as much as anybody.

That sounds very demanding actually. People are already used to legends mode. Would probably only work best for pocket worlds.

would it though? I mean, I'm sure there are some caveats.
but like, just showing some giant beast on the map and a sprite for a fortress with a fire/gore/rubble between them, doesn't seem vastly difficult
(only the oldest war being shown at any given time)

I bet it's a ton of work but it would just be so cool to see history go down.

There are probably a dozen things that go into each war,

-enemy sprite (megabeast or army or bandit camp)
-city/fortress/retreat/building sprite
-depiction of fire/gore/rubble/loot to go between them
-slowing down world gen for real-time viewing (this might be very difficult, and cause glitches)
-follow camera

-lots of other stuff too probably.

I don't know exactly how wars work in world gen, so if they are resolved before time can continue, then I guess it would be possible to display each one in turn.
