So we got values from 0-400 spread over a value of 0-255 so every color value must be multiplied with 1.5686274509803921568627450980392 (aprox.) to get the actual in world value?

[Draco18s]

Yes.  And if you open up DHM you'll see a ratio box, filed with a number that just so happens to be 1.56862

[TheSpaceMan]

So that what it does. Makes more sense now.

If you don't import a map for Savagery, DF will use it's own random generator for it.

After reading the posts about the height offset I understand why my map was all screwed up

[TheSpaceMan]

And after it all i understand why sweden/norway was without mountins or under the sea.

have anyone tryed with this to make bioms that make a little bit like a ches table? in these many civs could florish in historical scale, just have them separated with all kind of biom in a regulare way ... so none can really conquer the others ...
it migth work better with more race i think ...

Awsome Angry Lawyer.

As for DF making its own random maps, I don't think it does.  I will test, one second.

Ok, it does.  But if you supply a map instead you'll never get a rejection type corresponding to that type.  For instance, I genned a world without supplying rainfall and drainage and got a BUNCH of rejections (over 4000) regarding terrain types determined by those factors (and volcanoes, but the map needed for volcanoes needs to have a lot of contrast).

Then I took the two maps that came out of that world gen and plugged them back in: if they were bad maps because I was ignoring rejection types, then they should cause rejections, right?  Wrong.  I only got a volcanic rejection.

So I don't know what it is.

Looking forwards to the next version.  The preview function will be SO helpful.

My big issue is how to represent things graphically.  Heights are easy enough to do - anything below 100 is sea, and anything above 299 is mountain, so they can be colour coded.  Rainfall has brackets that cause forests to grow, and drainage has ones to make swamps form.  Temperature splits into Freezing, cold and the like - but how does one colour-code volcanicity?  Does anyone know what the volcanicity of a tile has to be to guarantee a volcano?  And savagery - how savage does a tile have to be before it's unsettleable?

I did this once.....for dwarves I think it's 60.  Evil is the more important number, but it's not something you have control over.

Volcanoes....not sure.

As for how to display them, just do overlay tabs.

Are there any drainage heightmaps on the net?
