If you really want evil go for grey and brown evil areas, not purple. Purple is evil goblin style, while grey and brown is evil undead style.

I don't think this is true. There's just various colors for evil biomes on the world map.

Jude is right, the colors just reflect different biome types.

You sure? Typically when I embark on the brown and red evil areas its undead and the purple tends to be more goblin and harpy type mobs.

i have to agree, purple got me harpies and gnomes, other colors got me hordes of undead

Going straight from memory, purple corresponds to evil mountain and forest areas (possibly all biomes with trees). Brown/red is ocean and some others...

Current fort has fourteen tiles on purple mountains, two on purple forests, and tons of undead (With a couple harpies). I should lure all the undead in the underground river out so I can get my bone industry up and running

There we go.

That's just because, as he said, purple corresponds to some types of environments and brown to others. The environments that happen to be purple may tend to have more of certain kinds of creatures than ones that are brown, but the color is not an indicator of that...and "purple" biomes are very diverse, from freezing mountains to swamps and jungles and glaciers.

so...wait.....then what is the difference between the light blue ocean and the dark blue ocean.....the ocean doesnt have a good/evil thing going in the biome key that Ashery posted.....i have two oceans on my map....one is a bright blue, like good, and the other is a dark blue....which is listed in the key....
