Longer histories will also increase the number of abandoned (sacked) towns and fortresses, which can matter for adventure mode, but conversely, doesn't matter that much for fortress mode. Conversely, shorter histories will take much less time to generate, but may limit some features (civilization size, sites, knowledge, historical artifacts, and necromancer towers). Longer histories will cause world generation to take longer, both because there are more years of events and because there tend to be more events in subsequent years. The actual length of history generation determines the details of the world the history configuration setting only establishes a maximum year at which generation will stop automatically. (Players might choose to do so if they are trying to reach a certain age, if they want to embark near a tower, or if worldgen has slowed to a crawl, for instance). Note that history generation can be interrupted and the world saved far short of the selected history value. The longer the history, the more historical events will be generated by the time gameplay begins.
It also determines the amount of time that megabeasts will have to roam and kill things, get killed, etc. A longer history allows more time for civilizations to grow, attack each other, and starve to death before the player can start playing. "This is the (maximum) length of pre-generated history." The number of years for the currently selected length will be shown in the lower right.
