I'd suggest...

I agree with all of this.

...
It's very interesting because you can build fortresses on two continents, and reduce A LOT travels. These cities could be strategic points.

And this too.

If our adventurers really fight for the sake of their faction they probably will become enemies in the eyes of some civilisation sooner or later and will be attacked by members of these civilisations, including other adventurers. Because of that our adventurers tavern could quickly turn into a slaughter house.
Which is awesome.

The rules:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You have one week to finish your turn in case you need more time, but try to finish as quickly as possible. Turns are not bound to ingame years.

Player Interactions:

1) Respect the stuff other players made. You may steal their artifacts and kill their dwarves and adventurers, but do not do anything that completely ruins what they created on purpose. If you take over a fortress, you are not allowed to flood it or do anything that makes it impossible for other players to conquer it back. You can hide artifacts in your own fortresses, but do not wall them in or destroy them in magma. It is part of the world and it is not to be deleted from it without its creators permission on purpose.
Do not hide stuff at the bottom of the ocean.

2) Act in your factions interest, your are a team after all. If you plan to betray them and join the enemy you should reflect that in your storytelling.

3) As for the storytelling, write down everything. If you want to keep something secret, like the place your adventurer is currently hiding, you should atleast give some hints for the other players. I don't think anyone wants to waste his whole turn looking for the hole you hid yourself in so they can take revenge for you eating their cheese.

4) Try to stay 'realistic'. If the enemy has built a fortress at the passage to another continent so your civilisation 'can't pass without their permission' you shouldn't just build your own fortress on that continent. If somebody built a huge bridge over the ocean and wants you to pay taxes for using it, do not just swim past it in adventure mode, even if you can. You either pay the appropriate price, try to sneak by or pick up a fight.

5) Remember there is non-lethal combat. Think twice when you are about to kill the other player's favorite adventurer.

Planned Projects:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

1.
'Moria', multiple adjacent fortresses connected through the cavern layers.
2.

Maybe we can pour magma at the whole world?!!!

Fix'd that for you.

Mordor 'You should not go there'-place, we will go there anyway
3.
'Adventurer's tavern', a base for our adventurers, similiar to the museum from the museum thread.
4.
UBER MEGA SPACE PIERCING PHALLUS! and similiar stuff
5.
Player wars
6.
Project 'F*CK HELL!', again and again and again and...
7.
Dungeons and mazes, full of dragons and blazes
8. 
A series of completely useless 'helpfully aesthetically pleasing' docks/ huge bridges
9.
An assassin's guild, used to track down and kill the enemy's civ leaders. 
10)
World-forge, potential 'You should not go there'-place
11)
' "Advetures' Hub and Museum of Artifacts" Combined with a "Mini-Mart & Hotel." ', similiar to the tavern, probably even bigger or build on top of the first one. Combine it with the giant phallus and it will be awesome.
12)
A monster graveyard, a place where we drag the bodies of our greatest foes and throw them on a pile of other rotting bodies. Can be placed next to the tavern/museum.

[SilverDragon]

My docks and bridges aren't useless, they are helpfully aesthetically pleasing. D:

[Yuli Vlasi]

I was thinking of building a series of docks, not that they would be useful, or anything.

But you...
Forget about it, I'll fix it.
One million imaginary dwarfbucks to the one that collects one of every kind of golden coins, one million dwarfbucks for every demon corpse thrown into the volcanoe, one million ....
Seriously, we should make up challenges and give away totally useless points to the teams that manage to suceed.
By the way, when are we going to form said teams? After world gen?

[Orange Wizard]

Why not now?

I'm forming Team McSock. All of our forts/entities shall be sock-related, and we shall embark on the epic quest of creating the most valuable sock possible, but without Planepacked glitches.

[WillowLuman]

I think we should see the world first, because if we form teams first we might be missing out on cool story opportunities.

[Orange Wizard]

Spoilsport.

[SilverDragon]

If there was a dragon team I'd be on that sooooo quick.

Well, I'm definetely not joining that But I like the idea.

True.

Do you mean 'We are nice to dragons'-team or 'We fucking murder every of those pesky lizards'-team? 'Cause I think it would be awesome if we created a cloak made of the most dangerous creatures our world has to offer, icluding dragons.

[Inarius]

'Cause I think it would be awesome if we created a cloak made of the most dangerous creatures our world has to offer, icluding dragons.

It could be cool, if only dragon leather was different from pinguin leather, or cow leather.

[SilverDragon]

I meant the "We are nice to dragons" team, but I'd still join that one if you were to make et.

It's not about how much the product will be worth. It's about collecting rare items and making stuff out of them.
And then kill each other for the right to own the stuff.

[WillowLuman]

Actually, since dragon raws select every material in the dragon and set them immune to all heat damage, dragon leather would be fireproof. Except, dragons don't have a leather material, since scales cannot be tanned without modding. However, that kind of minor modding might be permissible since it wouldn't really change the feel of the game much.

[Eric Blank]

It's pretty simple to do that, as well. I did so for my dragonkin mod.

[WillowLuman]

Just remove the bit that goes

[REMOVE_MATERIAL:LEATHER]

[Eric Blank]

Well, you can also leave that line in but say:

      [USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:SCALE:DRAGON_SCALE_TEMPLATE]
      [USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:LEATHER:DRAGON_SCALE_LEATHER_TEMPLATE]

And thus, you can define a unique material for both the animal's skin while it is alive, and the leather produced from it's hide.

Your solution does truly require less modding, though.
