Cultural parameters for site generation
« on: June 01, 2017, 12:35:52 am »

Site generation is rather esoteric right now, but I think it's safe to assume that it involves certain hardcoded parameters, right?  Number of houses per space, size of rooms, frequency of tunnel branching, and so on.  I think it would increase the depth of worldbuilding if these parameters could vary from one culture to the next.  Within a particular world, it would be possible to determine which civilization created a particular site based on the way the site was set up.  One dwarf civ might make a lot of little branching corridors and small, personal rooms, for example, while another would prefer one big main hall and a few others branching off of that one.

Of couse, the range of variables could be set in the entity file for that civ.

My second turn's unnoficial goal was to turn everyone into vampires, and it backfired so bad, I ended up making the fort a more efficient, safer and friendlier place.
Apparently they evolved a taste for everything I love and care about
