Hmmmmm, where have I seen something like this before...

We just need to find a really big computer and figure out Earth's world gen parameters.

Gentlemen, we have seeds to produce... There are a few bajillion numbers out there, so we better get busy.

[Untelligent]

Isn't that the kind of simulation the dude from Jurassic Park said wouldn't work?

Jeff Goldblum is a filthy elf who blathers on about how advanced universe simulation is impossible then turns around and disables an alien mothership with a virus he cooked up in windows 98... I'm not sure where I was going with that. Oh, and every character Jeff Goldblum has ever played is the same guy with a really exciting life.

Besides, everyone knows earth's world-gen seeds are:
282476647289117
382904384673286
267382973627829
326789596374897
The numbers in the design world settings don't go that high because Toady doesn't want DF to go crazy and become self-aware until it's powerful enough to take over.

[Shade-o]

Actually, he used a Mac.

[Gatleos]

Actually, he used a Mac.

Jeff Goldblum is a filthy elf who uses APPLE PRODUCTS. Oh, and Steve Jobs is a secret elf too.

[Desdichado]

Preposterous. How could he program an alien-destroying virus on a computer whose mouse has only one button?

[Max White]

Well I assume he took microsoft supporting hardware and put it inside a apple case, to be ironic or something... Darn hipsters!

[martinuzz]

Isn't the worldgen number 42?

[Eugenitor]

Preposterous. How could he program an alien-destroying virus on a computer whose mouse has only one button?

Because the aliens used the same OS, why do you think they wanted to destroy the Earth?

[RedWick]

Isn't the worldgen number 42?

That makes an eerie sort of sense, actually.

I wonder what happens when we set all the parameters at 42 and run the game at 88 FPS?

!SCIENCE!

Just genned the world - 42 as the seed, large reigon and it comes up with the Past World of Tempests, full of amazing and vibrant places such as:
The Forest of Echos
The Swamp of Funerals
The Land of Reputing
The Jungles of Hustling
The Murk of Stars
The Swamps of Hushing (and the Swamp of Murders)

It's a very grim world and the list goes on, trying to compile a list of human activity
See if any demons are currently holding authoritative positions.

Create a 4 by 2 embark on the fourth collumn, second row of a savage, haunted region. Magic happens.

I'll see what happens if every range in the world gen file is 42.

Anyone know how to check on a human civilisation in legends mode? I tried World Viewer but it dosen't work and I don't know any others.

Taking a look at the map now, too little water though...
