necromancers in 34.04?
« on: March 04, 2012, 07:36:06 pm »

So I got lots of necromancer towers in worlds I generated with 34.01, but I've generated several worlds now with v34.04 and gotten no necromancer towers.  I checked the legends mode, and the only artifacts are books written by demons about themselves.

I'm only running worldgen to about year 200, but previously I saw lots of towers by year 50 or year 100.  Am I just unlucky, or have they become more rare?

You're probably unlucky. The size of the world does have an affect on it though.

Try increasing SECRET_NUMBER in worldgen.

You should also generate longer history. DF 0.34.04 generates worlds MUCH faster than 0.34.02, and also takes less memory.
I generated 600 years medium world in about 20 minutes, while the very same params took 3 hours to generate 400 years in 0.34.02 (and almost run out of memory limit).

Towers are also local, so you'll need to 'move around' during embark mode if you want to find one.
