Create custom peaceful map?
« on: February 09, 2012, 04:47:08 pm »
Trying to figure out which params to change and by how much to get the most peaceful map possible. I know both savagery and evil params are involved but I keep getting too many rejections. Any thoughts?

Lower the min/max number of evil/savage biomes instead of lowering the evil/savage count?

I've played with good/evil settings endless times -- usually trying to make a map more evil -- and as far as I can tell DF largely disregards these values. There seems to be some other variable at work that is not controllable in worldgen parameters.

You could turn the desired evil square counts for each biome to 0, and set the max savagery to 0. Or just lower them if you still want some nasties roaming about.

Controllable in advanced parameters ;)

Yes I know it's in advanced worldgen.

I have gone as far as setting all good settings to 0 and maxing all evil settings, and even that has no effect -- you still get the typical distribution.

What

I think you did it wrong.

I made 100% dark world. It was legends/adventure only world as races can't world gen history wise embark on evil grounds.

I also did 100% good world which was only populated by elves  :P

You need to max amount for "Required amount of evil/good in small/medium/large regions) setting.

Say, now that you mention it, the reason this never works for me might be because I always have "needs playable civ" on. It's probably rejecting maps that have too much evil.
