| − | + | * '''Age of Myth, Age of Legends, Age of Heroes'''<br /> In previous versions, those three were the most common. Since the first .31 update, changes in underlying parameters in world gen mean that it has become rarer for the world to reach even the Age of Legends. The progression from Myth to Legends to Heroes is conditional upon the percentage death of megabeasts in a given world during generation. Slaying Megabeasts that visit you in Fortress Mode is known to trigger change of Age. When there are very few Megabeasts/Demons left, breaking into a [[Hidden Fun Stuff|very bad place]] can also trigger an Age change. | |

| + | * '''Age of (Megabeast's/Demon's name/title)'''<br /> Occurs mostly in pocket worlds, where there's one Megabeast/Demon with relative large kill list. | ||
| + | :: ''The Age of Flarrgh was a time when the dragon Flarrgh was the only great power in the world.''<br /> | ||
| − | + | * '''Age of (Megabeast/Demon) and (Megabeast/Demon)'''<br /> Same as above, but with two notable Megabeasts/Demons. eg: "'''The Age of Titan and Dragon'''" or "'''The Age of Two Demons'''" | |

| + | <blockquote> | ||
| + | "I finally saw a world arrive at the Age of Fairy Tales, which happens if mundane creatures (ie humans) make up at least 90% of the world's civilized population with the requirement that there are still a few fantasy creatures lurking around. In this case, it was a kobold cave that their scouts never found. I guess all of the fairy tales were about people having their crap stolen." | ||

| + | |||
| + | :: ''The Age of Fairy Tales was a time when fantastic creatures were few and far between, and some even doubted their existence.''<br /> | ||
| + | |||
| + | * '''Age of Twilight'''<br /> There are no wars and other worries, but civilizations are too weak to expand or are crumbling apart. | ||

| − | + | * '''Age of Emptiness'''<br />The Age of Emptiness is a time when there are no civilized beings left alive. This is a game state that can be achieved in adventure mode, because everything can be killed in adventure mode. However, the game does not register the ''civilizations themselves'' as being extinct, so the Age of Emptiness is not respected in dwarf mode; things will be re-populated. | |
