What are your favorite gen settings for adventure worlds?

Smaller world, 250 years, add more megabeasts and civs, reveal all caves. That way population and history aren't crazy but there are still artifacts and challenging monsters.

[KittyTac]

Basic WG, smaller, 550 years, everything else set to maximum.

[George_Chickens]

What are your favorite gen settings for adventure worlds?

500 years, medium world, +5 to maximum civs, increase caves by 30% to 50%, increase megabeast caves accordingly, bogeymen off, titans, disturbances, and such set to 100 to 200, vampires and werebeasts set to 30 to 50, night creatures set relatively low (otherwise the starting ones will overtake the world), and volcanoes doubled or tripled. Also, caves set to visible on world map.

I usually pick large/medium world, short/medium history, lots of beasts and civs and sites, medium savagery and resources everywhere

Just came into a tavern to find a greasy haired lady forcing the commander to drop his loincloth...

[Eric Blank]

Shes clearly had enough to drink...

I can imagine an exasperated tavern keeper in the background of the scene and a shocked, blood-caked adventurer who just barely walked in just staring at the two.

I dont like where thats going

[Cathar]

She's robbing him omg why

[Loam]

I found a monk with a knife made of solid opal and a pouch of cyclops leather:


According to Legends Viewer she's called Ocba Soulsoap (a good name for a monk), worships the goddess of death, disease, and creation (a Creator-Destroyer deity?), has made pilgrimages to several tombs, and has been recruiting monks into the "Hideous Cloisters" for about seventy years.

She won't join my party, unfortunately.

Also I keep finding naked peasants in taverns. They always say they used to be dancers...

Performance troupes are considered to be separate civilizations, so dancers will eventually have their clothes rot away and never be replaced.

I've seen the stone/gem daggers too, not sure what causes it. Regarding travelling troupes, what KittyTac said is true - they essentially spawn nude since they seem to count as entities separate from their original home civs.

currently been setting up hermit forts with my adventurer in a mad dash to take over towns and other villas through conquest.
so far slowly noticing that goblins snap and try to ask for identification if you switch from fort mode to adventurer mode which makes me kinda worried as now I have to exile all of them than just having 6 early units for military.
probably need to scout out and look for stuff to take over also figure out if talking the towns folk of a site that been seized would add them to the worker list or not?

in a different save I ended up giving a cup of 30,000 stacks of dwarven ale to a herbalist dwarf and she has at least 12,000 left from non-stop drinking.

I think I've found the worst town in Dwarf Fortress.

In the town of Brushmysteries are:
--a castle made of silver, where the elven lord sits on a throne of gold.
--a temple
--a warehouse consisting of a single room full of weapons
--a market with eight merchants in it, all selling rhyollite tables
--a tavern with the floor space of a living room
--a well
--and this house:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

As near as I can tell every citizens of the town lives in this one house. In this picture there are 80+ people stuffed into that room; most of them are naked and covered in blood and vomit (after a fight with two goblins). And the house isn't even in the town proper, it's on the outskirts.

Now, when the lord lives in a silver castle and all the citizens live in a one-bedroom hut like some death camp nightmare, I'd say you have a bit of an imbalance in your society. Maybe it's no wonder those goblins tried to start an insurrection.

[KittyTac]

I once found a platinum castle.
