world with no civs?
« on: May 22, 2011, 10:39:13 am »

How do I make a world with no civs and no signs that civs ever lived there? I want the land to be completely empty

I'm pretty sure that's impossible.

You can never be too sure.

I suppose if you modded all megabeasts to be insanely powerful and generated a pocket world with lots of beasts they would take out all civilization eventually. That, or you could try making all the races carnivores, they should (hopefully) starve and die.

You'll need at least the one civ you want to play to be active at the start.

Maybe make them go extinct a la kobolds? (BONE_CARN tag, maybe some others required)

Also, maybe make them a cave civilization. These civilizations definitely won't build above ground.

Even if a race is extinct, isn't there at least one civ left, just with nobody in it? "No important rulers" and all that.

You can play no matter what, it's just that if there are no civs alive you won't get trders. migrants or attacks.

I think they are asking for an empty map, as in no Civ constructions (farms, towns, castles, etc) Which I believe is impossible...

I generated a cavernless world with only two civs. They were dwarves and kobolds. 7500 (typo) years later, the world was empty for 7,495 or 7,496 years.

Taking out the creature tags from goblin, elf, and human civs (or at least elf and human civs) leaves dwarves as the only farming civ. Take out caverns, and everyone starves.
