I'd wager PerfectWorld will still work with the new version. Toady hasn't mentioned any new changes to how worldgen operates as a whole.

I think I'd prefer a random name, myself.

Why are we meticulously planning our world? We limit ourselves by not seeing what the RNG in this version can give us. This is the same reason I voted against modding.

We should set some parameters, sure, but we shouldn't hand craft it.

How are we supposed to 'hand craft' a world without other programms anyways?

The World Painter function in advanced generation.

I think we shouldn't even use the advanced generator, unless we're bumping up the !!FUN!! a bit because we're ALL experienced players.

I just want to have lots of 500-500 revealed caves. (the maximum possible size also set to minimum, or close.)
You know you want to, too.

Well, I wouldn't call that handcrafting, but ok.

Yeah, Toady One put in presets for a reason, and I think it would be best to just do that.
The only real reason I would want to adv gen it would be to make caves visible, and increase the good/evil region count, and since it's a community game, we would have time to find the caves.

[WillowLuman]

I'd support advanced generation, but not too far from normal (no removing cavern layers or anything). Things like slightly increasing the prevalence of minerals, making all the caverns open (because honeycomb caverns are a pain in the neck), slightly increasing the prevalence of good/evil regions, upping the number of civs a little, that sort of thing.

Also, plenty of volcanoes, since many people want to build on them, but a world no smaller than medium so that the world isn't mostly igneous in bedrock.

We should rise te megabeast and titans numbers as well. The default numbers are phatetically low, I think we will need 80 MB at least. Otherwise we will run out too soon.

There are a quite a few things you can't do in a normally generated world, for instance, disabling bogeyman, or combining seeds to get the best outcome possible.

What is our stance on bogeymen anyway?

DISABLE.
Those bastards, I seriously CANNOT play with them on.

Period.
Megabeasts - sure things. Titans - fine. Demons - might be FUN, what else is new.

But Boogeymen - never.

Seeing as I am one of the first players who signed on the list, Ill just say that Im not very good in Dwarf mode, I can set up A moderately okay-ish fort, but I am not the master of  it, Pumping I got the basics, but beyond that im A complete fool, So dont mind my foolery.   

[Lolfail0009]

What's the turn list currently? I know I'm on the later end of it.

Annoying as shit. You might do fun things with them on your own, but on a succession game, people would waste so much of their time trying to get an adventurer to survive nights on journeys that they don't have much time left to do anything cool. Savescumming doesn't help there, because savescumming to have a guy live past the first night takes about as long as making a new guy.

[mastahcheese]

Oh, right, the bogeymen....
