- It says the experience uses more than 800 historical events and 500 life events, each marked with a source or estimate.
Field notes
The experience uses a sequence of questions to move a simulated life through choices and historical events, then presents its outcome as a brief county-gazetteer entry. Its account of the method distinguishes sourced material from estimates and explains that it halves mortality before age five for playability. The page also says the optional birthday input stays on the device, and that event text is written in advance rather than generated live.
