I have been wanting to make a savage world, but I have the problem of dwarves not settling in savage biomes, I was wondering if there were any tags I could change to allow them to settle there, so I don't keep getting the "No controllable entity definitions available" error.
Thanks.

I am not certain, but I think that the "surroundings" alignment is set by the creatures, not the civ.  Try putting the [SAVAGE] tag in the dwarf raw definition and see if that helps.

edit: Nevermind; just generated a world and nobody seems to care about savagery.  I have humans setting up shop in untamed wilds everywhere, with no raw modification whatsoever. 

edit: Alright, I made an entirely savage world, and managed to get 10 dwarven civs set up on it.  They all have sites showing up in savage places, so I don't think savagery has anything to do with it.  Perhaps you are just asking for too many civilizations?

[Henri]

Ah, thanks for the help. I will mess around with my parameters a bit more then, at least Savagery is not the problem

Edit: Also, what would be the maximum number of civs I should have settle on a medium sized map? And is there any ways to increase that number?

Edit2: I have tried doing the same, and I just can't replicate your results, in the world gen, it doesn't place a single civ when savagery is high, it just rejects instantly. I tried the [SAVAGE] tag, it didn't help.

Try PerfectWorldDF (link in my sig). You can add alot of noise to the savagery map, so that there are always savage areas nearby, even if the map is not entirely savage.

[Caldfir]

I'm tninking that possibly it will place sites on savage locations, but won't start civs there.  The world I was talking about had 50-100 savagery, and it is possible that 100 savagery everywhere just doesn't have any start locations.  I don't think there is currently any way around this - it must be hardcoded into how civilizations are placed. 

As for number of civs on a medium map, you will have trouble placing more than 40, and if your civs live in mountains only (like dwarves and goblins) it will be very difficult to get more than 10.

Thanks Cephalo I will try that. And thanks to you also Caldfir, learn something new every time I come on to these forums. I also never knew Goblins were mountain dwellers.
I am gonna give all entities [BIOME_SUPPORT:ALL_MAIN] to get rid of the need for lots of mountains and forests etc, try the high noise savagery map with PerfectWorld, and hope for the best, thanks a lot guys.

Edit: Oh, and whilst I am here, I am tempted to mod in some more entities, can I have more than 3 neighboring entities at a time, or is 3 the limit?

[cameron]

afaik you can have as many as you can get to settle nearby, though there might be a limit of one per race/civ entry.

[Henri]

Ah excellent, thank you very much Cameron. I could just clone entities to make more than one settle next to me as well

Edit: Is there anyway to generate multiple worlds at the same time/continuously without any input. I read on a thread on here a while back someone mentioning it, and I couldn't find it again. It would make finding my ideal embark so much easier.
