Some other ideas(based on some experiense) about world generation for really intresting game.

Firstly - 1000 kinds of secrets life and death, curses and demons. Probadly NO bogeymans(cause their have no history, and if u has killed by bogeyman, u don't add somethink intresting to world history.) and less probadly not a lot of megabeasts and fogotten beast cause they can destroy all important location and kill all intresing characters before us :-X

Secondly - it must be world with 7 or more necremant's towers(1000 kinds of secrets life and death make this point possible

Third - it can be somethink like Gold Age, Age of Myth or Age of Legends, that follows Age of Twilight(cause in past in this world there were a lot of great wars, heroes and  so on but now world is active and everythink is in your power and choise.)

Fouth - world MUST have  really a lot of hyman towns(it's really most intresink location)
for example the world that i described in previous post.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Fifthly - the number of civilization should be only 5 but population cup must be really big.It's cause of issues with uderstanding history of the world there are a lot of civillization of each kind and dwarves have wars with dwarewes in union with kobolds and elves(and in such worlds goblins always vin cause of a lot of demon-liders and their agressive politic)

And finally - it is really important - the number of sites must be really GREAT cause it's will not be used to all limit in world generation(generally number of sites will be liitle larger than usually) but the civilization will  progress then we will play)[/i]

P.S. I think we must using LNP for Isoworld(you can see it at my screenshot of city in this post)
P.S.S. And at the end... Possible we should make teams such as good vs evil and bla-bla-bla for more interesting playing?
Like this one player builds a stronghold for the Dark Lord, creates adventurer, train him, making vampire-necromant and creates an army of the dead,after it captures the fortress created by humself and end turn.
Next Player(from other team) creates fortress nearly to Dark Lors's Fotress and waiting for siege...

Okay, so should I generate another world with alive civilizations?

I thought this would be interesting, because humans, dwarves and elves are dead, and kobolds and goblins took some hamlets.

So each player would resurrect one race. And then we start a fortress or adventurers and see how far our resurrected civilizations go. Hom much land they reclaim, how many children they have, or do we need some active intervention from adventurers to save them.

If you want to embark with elves, just change add the civilization controllable tag from dwarves.

Try to embark with two war grizzley bears so you can bread them, because you can't make any squads. Spend the rest of the embark points on adequate swimming, and wood logs, because everything else is expensive.

You can't fish, but can collect plants to farm.

+challange to build stairs up to trees and connect tree crowns.

++challange to embark on a river confluence, connect the three sides with 1x1 wooden brdiges and build a stair over the river into the tree tops

Just somebody start already...

Firstly, I decided to use the world that i described in earlier post, because know exactly that this world is crazy intresing/and here we can do a lot of different !!!Scince!!!(for example with feudalism(i have already done some experiments with this) or with tunnels with vampires bands and other)
And for the begin i would tell you some stories that i already have in this world(i have about 10 adventurers).
...
pre-pre history...
This world is crazy ... thousand species of necromancers and vampires (among of them are giant lizards that prefer to use in combat blowgun)
-I fought above lizards on the streets of the ruined city, resembled Moscow...
here is screenshot
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Alas my adventure ended sadly , another heroic and useless death(oh It's DF - another pease of FUN)
-I has killed my first Cyclop
-one of my teammates was a vampire with a half hundreds of victims. I learned about it in the mode of legends when my adventurer died, my adventurer, originally demigod, and even well-armored and pumped, died in a collision with a goblin lord Mace two stroke
-My squad fought with a group collected by my past character, for no apparent reason...
- was ambushed. Consisting of 20-30 odd goblins and other evil spirits, dead, bleeding, treacherously tried to escape, leaving teammates
-in this world I wandered once at a meeting of priests of different faiths (there were more than a dozen) he-he it was only the first our meet
-One of my adventuring burned vampire original way - he asked the commander of the camp (I has robbed about 10 000 coins of different denominations there) who's the owner of the place and heard in response - a man vampire. I asked - where is he? - He said - is what I have, but do not even guessed that he burned. I had to drop a hint. As a result, instead of fighting, we became each other's spit. Vampire dodged, and I covered the companions of spitting his blades. Unfortunately, after some time, the save has fallen this 'progress' was not saved.

But now the case.
I saw the city from a distance; It was quite large and it scurried dozens if not hundreds of troops.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
These "units" were in fact single-recruits people running around back and forth for quite unpredictable routes, reminiscent of Brownian motion.
In fact, the city was filled with lonely naked recruits who do not respond to any questions and run on the principle of a crazy ant.
The city itself deserves a separate description.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
This height difference and such huge towers I have never seen. City destroyed but not entirely. The huge temple colored bright blue with swimming pool on the patio location was absolutely intact in appearance. Prioress Sister also intact and unharmed ... agreed to accept our help, while adding that she had no family, and so no one else need to be rescued . By the way she has bracelets and eaings maden from elven bones and teeth.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
She is not as simple as it seems at first glance... Now it's clear why she agreed to go with us so simply - the city attacked by the elves just now.
And here are naked recruits gathered on the roof of some building
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I noticed that on the lower tier of the temple there, and decided to run to see.
At the bottom of the template was high priest of their religion,  with the decoration of the elven bones, too and he was also grateful for my willingness to help.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
After leaving the temple I went to the side of the fortress and then to meet me a whole bunch of recruits ....
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Another priest hid in tanner store...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
He also agreed with me to flee . I went inside the house and saw he is rich man)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I asked him about the governor, now I know that directs this whole mess here, Lord Sitsu Saffronhigh - he is muddle...
I went into the castle, and was pretty surprised - it was the castle with a lot of different priests that my previous character has visit.

to be continued

Faced with a difficult choice, I created a poll in the spirit of good old Likot Soapmaker and placed it in russion DF commynity.
1. Wait for the arrival of the army attacking the elves (the question that I'm not sure, but if it comes while I'm in the fortress) and defend a fortress together with a bunch of crazy recruits.
2. Go on a further journey in the company of a whole gang of priests.
3. Attempt to intercept an army of elves on the march.
4. Try to escape through the dungeon that is more role-plaing in such a situation (they are pretty big under castle, i did not investigate them all at my last visit to this city)
So, seeing the results of the vote, that's what I eventually decided. Since adventurer appallingly bad memory, version of "get into the catacombs," which led to the vote by a large margin, I have not caused much enthusiasm. Though something in this direction, I still taken - namely, I went into the catacombs in search of armor, but since I came not very deep, i had no results. Further plans look like this:
1) Well, first you need to ask all the priests about their families.
2) And try to find out where the result is a local idiot-Lord who allowed all this mess.
Both items could not run - the priests had no family, and is now Lord, no one knew. I suspected that he was stabbed in a quiet cavern, or he escaped.
The next point of the plan was to "take power, to the fun is exactly not spared me by."
So I created the "The band of Slayghter" and  took over the citadel.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Firstly after it i asked one of the priests there are my guardians and armies
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Even though I left the citadel in one of my followers, every time I come in, the message that I now run a fortress.
Half of the priests, including Sacred Music disappeared somewhere as if dissolved in air
Oh, another entrance to the cave:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
And yet - quenched his thirst with water from the well and saw near the well is another entrance to the cave. This leads to some thoughts.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
That? This is the corpse of one of the priests !!!And nearly one priest alive...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I met the Lord, he was a brewer ... by the way the war with the elves began because of disagreements about the preparation plant.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I asked the Lord about who now rules (had expected fights) but no, more fun ...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Whenever I go away, the nun took power. Most interesting is that conqueror  is also now in the squad with me.
And the Lord is also true elf-fobphobic... respect!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Our Gang now is much bigger!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The battle for the city began ... no .... it seem slightly inside the detachment at loggerheads two contenders for the possession of the city ... shook each other with knives and boasted of the number of dead elves ... but managed to avoid stabbing ... yet.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
But the result of a quarrel funny - until the detachment peace and tranquility:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
And in a city that is not so bad, the market is full of traders. But nothing! I save all !!!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Almost all saved, so then began stabbing, establish the exact cause still failed, the basic version - the escalation of the conflict related to the fact that different merchants support different contenders for power in the city.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Lord brewer has killed by milkmaker, another milkman tried to defend his lord.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
He is armed with a pike and also spits!

And then with my fighter what happened ??? Its something for that?
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Opponents are trying to convince each other that now is not the time to fight and here is marching army of the enemy, but without success.

Another death

I have some more fun with older saves, but it is not true-DF playing, so i I will put here classic save...
All I can guarantee to those who take the save - the world is mad, everything can happen.
