To my chagrin, I spend more time genning new worlds than playing the game. And not for lack of wanting to play, mind you.

My problem is that the worlds I get, even with weeks of tweaking the parameters (and using PerfectWorldDF), are way short of what I want to play in. So to make it a little easier for people like me, I'd suggest the inclusion of a few simple new parameters in the world gen settings.

• Thriving Civilisations: Obvious one. A check-list for Gobbos, Humans, Dwarves and Elves, to ensure that all checked types of civs are around and alive at the end of history.
• Good/Evil: Just like Savagery, this one ought to be more accurately manipulable.
• Aquifer: It seems quite difficult to handle aquifers right now, but for lots of people those are deal-breakers. A simple multiplier should account for their prevalence.
• Economic Stone: Some things, like flux and coal/lignite, are quite frustrating to not have around. Just as with aquifers, a prevalence modifier would be nice.

Off the top of my hat, anyways. Are those imaginably doable?

1 and 2 I agree with.  This one irks me.

You want flux/coal to be "prevalent" relative to what?  Not to mention that (last I checked) all ores had a 100% density outcome (eg. the rarities in the flags weren't being properly represented and global ore rates were red lined).

Alright. Replace "prevalence" with "probability of presence within a 2x2 embark square".
