Embark points for normal world generation
« on: July 06, 2011, 08:19:25 am »

I'm trying to generate a with the regular world gen but with higher embark points. Is there a way to do this? The advanced world gen is so confusing when trying to increase evil and savagery leves.

Honestly?  My advice is to just buckle down and learn how to use advanced worldgen.  It ends up saving you a lot of time.  I could spend an hour looking for a flat evil forest with a river.  Or I could gen a world where that's the only biome in the planet.  If you know what you want, there's no reason to pick through vanilla regions trying to find that one that matches.

And remember, meddling with the world gen can be quite Fun!

Good luck though :)

In one fort I had war elephants riding camels into battle. I can imagine the war elephants taming them simply by picking them up and dropping them in a coral. I still don't understand how you can fit a few ton elephant onto camel though.

I give up. I've generated 10 worlds now with 7000-10000 embark points. When I try to embark and is about to pick my dwarf skills and equipment, I still have the same amount of embark points.

I've checked the parameters of in adv worldgen AFTER  genning a world, it says 7000 embark points!

I dunno why it isnt working :(

I want more embark points to have a early military presence because Im embarking near wilderness/savage/evil terrain

How do I use that? Do I just paste it in the world gen ini file?

Got into \data\init and find world_gen.txt

See below for example (you will need to change each one, Large, Medium and so on):
[WORLD_GEN]
   [TITLE:LARGE ISLAND]
   [DIM:257:257]
   [EMBARK_POINTS:100000]

To take advantage of this you have to Design New World with Advanced Parameters then just select which size world you want to generate.
