I've generated 5 worlds with histories spanning from 1000,1500,2000,2500, and 3000 years. When I get onto adventure mode and find the capitals, all of them, have 80% abandoned shops. Is this normal, and is there a way to change this?

Best Answer
It is normal, and it result from the very long world history you have. The older your world is, the bigger the cities get, but there may still be wars or attack that will reduce the population, thus making the shops abandoned. It seems like people prefers to create new shops that take over older one, thus the abundance of abandoned shops.
Keep in mind that DF is far from being finished, so, in the future, the situation will likely change, and cities will contain more interesting buildings.
