Are the letters shown in the Dwarf Fortress loading screen random?
When you load up something in DF, there is a point where a bunch of colored letters are shown. I was wondering if each individual letter actually means something, or is it just random space filler until it reaches 100%.

How long is a long history Dwarf Fortress?
After generating the world, Dwarf Fortress will generate a history for that world, tracking civilizations, sites, populations, and other events. This can take a very long time for large, heavily populated worlds with very long, 2,000-year histories.How long does world generation take Dwarf Fortress?
From start to finish, world creation takes a little under two minutes. Faster for a smaller world, and much much longer for a larger one. Dial the history of the world up to over 1,000 years and the whole process can take 20 minutes or more. Just to make a map for you to play on.Dwarf Fortress Review | Strike The Earth™ | Praise ᚨᚱᛗᛟᚲ
