[Sir Finkus]

I've only recently started fooling around in adventure mode, and I decided to stop into a human town.  I hit the button to enter the town, and nothing happens.  I keep hitting it, and about a minute later it loads.  This is what I encounter:

Is this normal?  None of the other settlements seem to have this many people, and it's pretty much unplayable.  Getting around town is like navigating a maze (an obscenely laggy one at that).  I apologize if this is a known issue, but none of my search results turned up anything.  I don't have any mods or anything goofy going on that I can think of.

..........Hm? Oh, sorry....I was lost in a battle royale fantasy involving a human army.

Wow, that is rather strange, maybe the humans got unto a war with somebody and all their neighbouring towns got pillaged and burned down resulting in a mass refugee arrivals.

Check your legends for more info...(Burn it! Burn it all down! Burn it! Burn'em all!)

[Josephus]

D:

What. Happened there?

Are they all peasants? I believe majority of them are the sea-green of the lower classes. It's either a massive influx of immigration, or this is the middle of a war.

Hmm, that's a thought.  I just wish I wasn't a fresh adventurer so I could start bashing heads.

I'd say a good 95% of them are.  I can post the save if you'd like.

[Josephus]

That would be nice.

Also, just find a tree and (g) to set it on fire. With them being that tightly packed, there's no doubt that they'll all die horribly within the day.

Thing is, I'd really like to do something more badass like buy a battle axe and cut a path through them.  They're just begging for it.

edit: Hmm, you guys may be right.  I've checked out quite a few of the human towns and they all look like they've been razed.  Something horrible must have happened to them during worldgen.

[Cody1750]

That is one of the most amazing things I have seen in adventure mode.

[Josephus]

Oh dang. I'm trying to carve a path, but my rig can't handle it. So cool.

[Sir Finkus]

That is one of the most amazing things I have seen in adventure mode.

I'm going to try and embark on it and collapse the entire town.

It took like 5 minutes to load, fps at embark: 12.

[Cody1750]

I wish you the best of luck on this undertaking.

[Hugehead]

That is awesome, going to see if I can run it.

[Sir Finkus]

I counted the number of humans and got

2135

How many is this in terms of typical human populations?  I'm not really too much of a legends nerd so I don't know.

[Eagle_eye]

for a civ that's horribly losing a war, yeah, I expect thats all of them.

[Greiger]

I have a large civ that takes up the entire tropical section of the map on one of my worlds and their total population is about that much.  So it seems to me to be the whole civ.

It also seems to me to be a perfect opportunity for some massive scale KiwM

[MetalSlimeHunt]

You should unleash the FUN on them. Because the only thing worse than the impending doom of losing their war is having FUN show up in their last town due to some jerkass genius dwarven enginering.
