I have been experimenting with using a ridiculously high Civilization number (200 in this case) in order to address the lack of visitors.  This tactic has proven partially successful, generating ambushes and proper attacks by year 3.  I haven't yet played enough to see the effects long-term, so it is still a gamble.  Could be this is enough to ensure a handful of Gobbos & Elves per year, or it could lead to 300+ unit armies in less than a decade.

The embark will be split between Good & Evil regions, so at the very least there will be Weather and Zombie critters to contest with.  I realize this sounds like a veterans-only game, but I encourage anyone interested to consider, especially if you have never played in such conditions.  It will be a good learning experience   So that's the premise; partially !SCIENCE! of a 200-civ WorldGen, and partially surviving a half-Evil region.  Thoughts?

I'd definitely would watch.  I might even try playing.
A rush to iron+ armor and steel weapons increases the win rate versus normal hordes.
Stress management seems to play a larger role in long term mass casualty cleanup.
Maybe the good biome part can be a happy place burrow.

!SCIENCE! is !SCIENCE! as they say. I won't be able to play, but it seems interesting. I'll definitely watch if this becomes a thing.

[Immortal-D]

Lol, I like the idea of a happy place burrow.  I am not dead-set on using an aligned Biome, I simply want to inject as many !FUN! elements as possible.

I'd be up for playing this.

!!SCIENCE!! and the potential threat of frequent attacks?
Mmm-mmmmmm good!

[Gwolfski]

i would lke to play.

[Immortal-D]

Two yes's and a maybe   Well, this kind of !FUN! isn't for everyone.  Perhaps when the new version drops, or winter break starts.

So is this a thing? Because I've been genning worlds trying to get a Whisperwhipian experience and I basically haven't seen a forgotten beast or a titan since. It's only just now occurred to me that I've only had one real titan experience since I started playing 40.24 (when the hydra whom the actual age of the entire world was named after turned up on my glacier and ate my military).

Sounds like this is going to end up as agonizingly slow as that time I tried to swim across an ocean in adv mode. Within about 3 turns no less.
Still it's be worth a shot.

[Immortal-D]

Yeah, what the heck.  No reason every Succession game has to be a super serious RP deal.  I will cook up a world with the aforementioned ridiculous hostility levels & Civilization numbers, and we'll see where it takes us.
