Is there a way to make towns give more quests?
« on: November 14, 2009, 02:29:54 am »
So far i have managed only 2quests that i fulfilled and 1 quest where the monster wasn't in his cave. How can I get it that they give very much quests and a very wartorn world?

That last gobbo would stand there, missing an arm, punctured in a kidney, liver, and spleen, fading in and out of consciousness at the far end of where the drawbridge would go, and his last sight would be the drawbridge dropping down and smashing him like a bug.

God DAMN I love this game!

 Quests are based around important creatures in the surrounding areas. The best way to get more quests is generate more caves for them to hide in. As for cave problems, I think there is a world-gen setting that makes caves smaller. I'm not too sure on this.

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

There's numerous world-gen settings to increase/decrease max/min sizes of caves, increase/decrease maximum mountain/non-mountain caves, and if you set your megabeasts killed before genning finishes counter to 0, then the world will stop generating really early when there's hundreds of megabeasts that really want to beat the crap out of you.

Enjoy~!

None of us really can.  Right now, adventure mode is extremely uneventful.  You are better off going postal and trying to knock out a civilization.

Well, if you try a world with a war going on, go to one side. They will give you quests to kill people on the other side. Which probably means thats gonna be a lot of quests. And if you complete those, you can get an army of servants meatshields brainless idiots allies/companions.

Increase the caves a bit and stop the worldgen short. Year 5 to 20 so the vast majority of the megabeasts are still alive and terrorizing the place and wars are just starting up between the civs.

This could backfire -- I think the towns have to get attacked by the megabeasts in worldgen before they'll give you quests to kill them.  So if worldgen stops too early, no quests.

They'll send adventurers to 'kill a great beast' for the glory of the group, I think.
