I'm curious how Sowelu is "unmodded" (turning off invasions), while Hardrada is "modded" (embarking with bears) ?

Turning of invasions is an init.txt option, rather than something you change with the raws.

Alternately: The Brick Testament. It's a really fun look at what the bible would look like if interpreted literally. With Legos.
Just so I remember

Yep, init modifications are almost never considered modding. You can turn on/off some features, but other than that you really can't change the game much from there. If init modifications counted as modding, all 4 would be in this section, since I disabled temp, weather, and capped my population at 40 (although for some reason it still increased to 70 before immigration stopped). And all it takes to make invasions no longer a problem is a handful of strategically placed weapon traps. I had about 2 dwarves in total lost in the final 5 or so years of the game to goblins since my entrance had a double ring of weapon traps with a scattering of some more even further out. So for a competition map which takes many years to play through, invasions might as well be turned off for all the effect they have on the game.

Spheres are awesome.

It's black as pitch 'cause we're trapped by our violent souls
In a deep mine, where deep rhymes won't keep my self-control
Too many foes, we feel snakebit, and we won't take it
Enemies need their face hit, we goin' ape shit!
