So i just started a Monster Islamd adventure after rereading the epic Vanod thread.
This is what greeted me when i started my adventurer:


Will i survive this?

(yes those are all Hydras, fully grown hydras at that, i genned a large world and got 1050 years of history with only one dead historical figure and no civilization)

[Sprin]

Nope

[pisskop]

Who was the figure?  You?

Run naked man, RUN!

[nomad]

i didn't ^^ almost made it though.

i managed to loose all but one of the Hydras but that one got a hit on my leg and then it was all over... too bad

oh well time to make a new adventurer and avenge myself :-)

EDIT: that was one mean starting location though, seriously

[Sprin]

So... can you post the seed or somethin...

[pisskop]

So... can you post the seed or somethin...

seconded.  These kinda worlds are always fun to make

[nomad]

i would, but i guess my next adventurer has just been blessed by armok himself, see for yourself:

i just followed the directions in earwig thread, do as follows:


copy the large or medium iland parameters and edit them as follows:
maxelevation 20 or something similar
minimum mountain peaks 0
minimum volcanoes 1
and minimum rivers 0 to cut down on rejects (null all the other rejection parameters too, including require playable civ)
you will probably still get around 200 rejects and need to allow all rejects, but it will go really quick and history will gen to 1050 in like a minute or so (did for me at least)


edit: aww too bad speed dropped to normal levels after my first move, oh well ^^, still kinda strange

edit2:ok here are the worldgen parameters i used:

[Sprin]

could you make a story about your adventures on Death Island?

[pisskop]

"I woke up, not knowing where I was.  I was naked, did I get lucky?  As I gaze about, I see a clan of 7 headed freaks!  They look hungrily at me, and before I stopped my legs from shake so I could run I thought 'by Armok, I be too small for a meal!"

[GreatWyrmGold]

OP, did you use any mods?

[nomad]

nope totally vanilly, except i removed [alcohol_dependant] drom the dwarves for my project immortal fortress.... (another world) to bad i haven't had a single vampire migrant since the last update

by the way worldgen goes even faster if you just leave the number of rivers as it is, you arrive at 200 rejects in no time and can allow all. of course you may have bad luck like me and the only edible thing on the volcano, which is on an evil glacier, are hydras. apart from them i've met giants, ettins, trolls, various nightcreatures and ravens, which are all either sentient/intelligent or too small to butcher.


EDIT: and every start looks something like this:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

i got away though, 1600 movement ftw

[Hammerstar]

This might be the kind of world to break out the DBZ mod and see if a saiyan could survive (just the normal ones, though, because super saiyans wreck everything).

[Sprin]

when I said make a story I ment start a new adventure.
It would be kinda cool.

[nomad]

oh normal humans can survive just fine if they stay away from the big monsters until they ate legendary fighters, spearmen and dodgers.
ettins make great training dummys if you start wich talented dodger.

i genned a new world because i wanted to use wanderers friend mod and i don't think i can do that without genning a new world
if there is enough interest i could try to make a story but updates will be slow because it would be my first story and i have some rl things that will (hopefully) keep me away from df for the next few wekks more than usual.

anyway does anyone know a fix for legends viewer crashing if there are no civilizations?

[pisskop]

You could use the same seed.
