Deterministic Dwarf Fortress

Does anyone know if it's possible (even just in theory) to make Dwarf fortress always use a certain map, always generate a certain God, and otherwise not be random?

If you export a world, you'll get a "history seed" in addition to the "seed" and "name seed"s. Naturally, that seed handles the history as it's generated, but this is the history of the entire world, not just that of a single civ or entity.

You could try finding a specific instance of each seed that you like, or try using the world painter (design world with parameters -> e -> p) for landscapes. Other than that, it's unlikely.
