Age of Slums?

After making a small world, i noticed that it progressed into an age of slum. interestingly there appears to be two dwarven forts and one of each type of other civilization. which is odd for such a small world, especially after such a long time. i wonder if its similar to the age of twilight although the setting does not seem to suggest so...

Also on a minor note it is actually the age of slum (non-plural), i wonder whether this is down to a grammar error or if there is one slum of note??unsigned comment by 78.145.70.105

From the string dump, there is no "slum". Presumably, then, "slum" is the name of the dominant megabeast in your world. For example, if "Bob" the dragon was the dominant megabeast, it might be listed as the Age of Bob. You can confirm this in Legends mode.--Loci (talk) 19:18, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

Fast Progression?

After experimenting a few times with worldgen in the latest release, I found that usually after ~100 years on small worlds the age rapidly progresses through Legends and Heroes, sometimes all the way to Golden. I'm using medium everything except history length and size. Is this normal? It says here ("after 3.1") that it usually never gets past Myth. BaronNinja 22:56, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

Pocket world

This page makes references to Pocket worlds. What does that mean? It should be explained here.

I've added a link to the World Size portion of World Gen in case someone has this question. Krenshala 01:27, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

Draconic Ages

Despite the talk in the previous version about this topic, it seems odd that, while other beasts get referenced by name, Dragons don't. I think that it may be because of the kill list.

Currently (and as I can see with Legends Viewer and in Legends mode), there exists a single historic Dragon present in the world. I've had the fortune of capturing it (which means I might kill it for fun). Anyway... thinking the naming issue is related to it's kill list I can tell that he killed 47 historic (notable) and 27 animals (which isn't a grand kill list, although the dragon in question is entitled).

I've added the nuance at the main topic page because it doesn't match with the previous format. I would like to get more info about this.--Doktoro Reichard (talk) 06:10, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
