I have a custom worldgen setup that i like, except that everything is calm, serene or sinister.   I cannot get the world to be savage at all, and i really want a savage world!

I set have set  it up with all the savagery options heavily leaning towards making the world savage, it just doesnt work...   what could be wrong here?  do civs reduce the savagery or something?

[Slovak]

You can try reducing the amount of squares an evil region requires to form, although if it's increased too much, Civs won't spawn and you'll generate an error. I tend to just go heart of savagery and the whole world red, red with the blood of dwarves and humans and everything.

It's fun that way.

[DisgruntledPeasant]

I can get evil reigons to spawn just fine, i cover most of my map in evilness,  its just 'sinister'   which is 'evil but not savage'   its savagery I want, and no matter what i do my entire world is completely calm, not even a single area of savagery!

[Slovak]

Hm. Under 'Map Parameters' and 'Map Generation Parameters', there is an option to increase savagery, although I have never used it and do not know how it works. You could play around with it, and see if that solves the issue.

[DisgruntledPeasant]

I've tried this,  ive even set the minimum savagery to 99 and maximum to 100.  in theory this should make a rediculously savage world, but no, everything is 'calm'. 

[i2amroy]

Could you post the file that you are using for world gen please?

[DisgruntledPeasant]

I've started my game regardless, couldnt figure it out /:

The only RAW editing I have done aside from this is allowing humans to be playable in fortress mode.

[i2amroy]

So I just generated a world with those exact generation params and got infinite rejections. Upon then changing the minimum savagery from 99 to 50, I gened a new world and got one that was almost completely savage, so I don't know what your problem was. Try it again but with savagery being from 50 to 100 and tell us what happens.

[DisgruntledPeasant]

Generated it again,  with the changed savagery options and still the same,  absolutely everything is calm, serene or sinister.
I reverted my changes so dwarves were the playable race on the off chance that effected it, since that is the only 'modding' i have done, same story.

I'm clueless as to what could be the problem if you are getting a savage world out of that.

EDIT:  update,  i dont know WHY this worked, but it did.

I didnt expect it to work, since there is no logic there,  but i deleted that partictular world gen data,  and pasted it back in again.  now it is working.    Hell, i'm not arguing, I just dont understand.

[nenjin]

For some reason, it rejects any of the biome settings when they exceed 70ish. Probably has something do with necessary areas of calm required for world gen to proceed past a certain point, since most of the game is contingent on the survival of civilizations.

I think the best you can hope for is a seed providing large swaths of biomes surrounding islands of civilization. But I haven't had much luck trying to force it do that through map gen parameters....its dependence on certain values seems way too strict. But for good reasons, probably.
