How do I generate a world with more sinister(purple) areas?
« on: August 13, 2010, 10:05:21 pm »

Hello! I'm new to the forum and already got 70% of my doubts taken care of in other topics...

Well I like a good challange, and I like to start out in sinister areas it's so cool!!

What I would like to know (which I think it's simple for pr0s out there to explain.) is how do I generate a world with more sinister (purple)
areas?

Thanks in advance!

Well, I've never tried to do what you are looking to do but I think if you alter the settings at worldgen to increase the minimum number of evil squares, that should do the trick.

Custom worlds are a lot of fun... worlds full of waterfalls (lots of rivers, do not erode extremes) or volcanos or both are popular.

If you want specifically sinister areas, you'd also want to turn savagery down - e.g. have 3:3:1:1:1:1: in the ratio, because strictly speaking 'sinister' means benign evil in this game (normal evil is 'haunted', savage evil is 'terrifying').

  Well, in savage areas, animals like giant eagles show up, and I think animals like cougars and wolves and whatnot. In haunted areas, zombie and skeletal animals show up, although the animals aren't savage... more like 'normal' zombies. And in terrifying areas, you get animals like skeletal and zombie giant eagles, cougars, wolves, and even elephants. A group of skeletal elephants... pretty dangerous.

Mirthful zone packed with unicorns can be fairly dangerous though.  Terrifying isnt a guarantee of fun either.  You will often find them infested with such unstoppable enemies as skeletal marmots and zombie groundhogs.

Anything with nightwings or harpies can be damn hard too.  Ive spawned on a calm river and had 3 pages of hippos.  Probably the most challenging start ive had that lasted more than 30 seconds
