My Italy Worldgen
« on: April 24, 2011, 11:15:20 am »

This is my first map with PerfectWorldDF, it is a map with Italy. It is an awesome geographical location for DF. You have to reload the map generator sometimes if the hot and cold temperatures are on the wrong sides.

Why are you using mediafire?  We have DFFD for this sort of thing, and it isn't plagued by ads.

Hah, nice. But why is it haunted up to the north?

My guess would be personal preferences.

The good/bad/evil biomes are somewhat random. It won't always be evil up there. Most of the times I ran the script, the Mediterranean was an evil ocean.

I made the map so the farther from Rome, the more likely is will be evil; the closer, the more likely it will be good.

Which volcano is Mt. Vesuvius?
I wonder what the English translation of Pompeii is, if there is one...

The volcanoes are also somewhat randomized, but I made it extremely likely for Mt. Vesuvius to form. in that generation, there are two volcanoes very close to each other in the middle of Italy. The one on the left is Mt. Vesuvius.

To go into deeper explanation, Perfect World has no control over good and evil biomes. 

The game generates noise maps for all the different features of the game like good and evil biomes, and then overlays it on the geography map that is produced by Perfect World.  Because of a quirk in the way the game does this, it makes it extremely likely that very lage biomes (like oceans) are going to have at least one peak in either good or evil, and that will make the entire ocean either good or evil based upon which peak or trough you run across first in the randomization. 

Hence, large enough oceans in Perfect World are essentially always going to be either good or evil. 

Likewise, the game will make either the north or south end of the map the "glacial" side of the map, and there's no control over that (but at least it's a 50-50 chance that you'll come up with the one you want). 

When I've seen other people do these Perfect World maps, they tended to do an entire chunk of a hemisphere to get around the fact that glaciers appear at one end of the map, which is a little odd if you have glaciers in Spain. 

Making the northern border of the map the Alps, so that you just pretend it being an ice-capped mountain range for your glaciers is a clever trick.

It looks pretty good. Do you take requests by the way?

I just made a map of the U.K. I'm from the US so I'm not as precise as a Brit but I think it is decent. Most of Scotland is uncolonizable but the areas that are inhabited in reality (Glasgow, Edinburgh, Inverness) are very available.
