Blizzard is managed by dark sorcerers, and probably have enough money to bail-out the federal government.

^ has it right

The world construction tags determine what the civ will build during world gen, things like walls, roads, bridges, tunnels etc.

Has anyone ever seen any walls built by the civs in the game? I know I haven't. I think this is why Zemat is asking about the walls.

It's a placeholder, more so than the other things I call placeholders.  I haven't done it yet.  The framework is in the code, but the crucial part where they do anything with it, like build it, is missing.

Precisely!

I suspected it was a placeholder of sorts since Toady never mentioned in the dev notes anything about worldmap walls. But previously he has surprised us with hidden fun stuff so I thought that maybe I was missing something.

Thanks for the confirmation Toady.
