necromancer spread
« on: July 16, 2014, 05:35:16 am »

With the utter abundance of necromancer sites in this version I was wondering if anyone has yet experienced a necro tower popping up nearby while in fort mode??   Are unexpected zombie invasions a thing now?

Not mine, but this is already my favourite world gen picture yet.

I caused similar by putting the secrets up to 1000 in the advanced world gen and letting it run for little over 1000 years. The necro towers were everywhere. Could easily place an embark and have a dozen towers within range in a number of spots.

All 3 world gens I did so far in 40.03 only had 1 or 2 necro towers (2 small worlds, 1 medium). One of the small worlds made it to the year 550, the other two stopped somewhere between 150 and 250 cause of too many dead megabeasts.
How did you manage to get so many towers? Just upping the 'secrets' will do?

Probably would help, but even the "simple" world gen can get you these results now, think it has to do with the amount of gods with the sphere of death.
