For civ names, "The Mechanisms of Slapping" wins by a wide margin. Sadly, their pantheon isn't very inspiring, except for Ozor, diety of muck, dreams, nightmares, and the night. That one's quite tempting. I guess all those slapping machines give you excellent taste in evil deities.
A few of the civs have nicely large and varied pantheons.
If anyone is having a hard time finding an embark and wants to risk dfhack to tweak anything, please say so. It is quite a small world. Here's some things that I've done before:
Changing elevations on individual embark tiles, river position/width, small changes to the layout of biomes in a single map tile,
Moving biomes around the world map, altering geology details, changing evil weather, moving the necromancer tower, changing large-scale elevation, temperature or other biome-determining values.
I'll probably make smallish tweaks to wherever the embark ends up happening, mostly to increase my own Fun. I'd expect the judges to ignore the embark details, since this is about what we (
) build, not really where we embark. Definitely going to avoid any large or complicated changes.
