How many rejected worlds have you had, maybe when genning a personal world using advanced parameters?
Me, over 2500, then I gave up
What about you?

[arzzult]

Usually between 4 and 0. I spent a lot of time tweaking the parameters. You should turn on logging map rejections and try to pinpoint what's causing the rejections and fix it.

[Loud Whispers]

I once had one I genned to over 16,000 rejected worlds, learned a lot about how to make maps like sol from it :p

[arzzult]

Heh yeah, getting your biome sets to match up neatly with you elevation, rain fall, etc. min/max values can be a chore.

[Wannazzaki]

Never get more than 150 before the game asks "Want me to make this world regardless of errors and maybe it won't ve a legends only world?" then i say yes and play it.

I left DF running while I slept with my OCD advanced parameters. Woke up and it was still trying to create a world.

[Elifre]

I usually don't go overboard with the advanced generation settings, so I think the most I've gotten was 8. Most of the time I'm just looking for volcanoes and mountains, plus sheer cliffs and rivers. The Island of Socks is my first world for this, though I messed up a little with the megabeasts and titans, which is why I haven't run into any yet. :/

My next world is going to make sure that there's at least a hundred megabeasts left for the game, though I might have to turn erosion off completely if I want cliffs -and- full-sized dragons.

How do you turn erosion off?
That gives me evil ideas :3
MUHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

In advanced world generation, set erosion at 0. I usually go between 25-100 depending on how sheer I want cliffs to be.

Oh, and you can also make sure that cliffs are sheer by turning off automatic cliff erosion. The one downside to this is that you might not have a way to climb a mountain and will have to build ramps, or dig your way up from the inside.

Yes, but it's so dwarfy it's worth it.
