Yeah saw that but i have to abandon a perfectly good fort it is frustrating. If the undead they raised were the same alignment as the necromancer it wouldn't be such a big deal because they'd just raise undead that could actually be helpful but honestly i feel something like that should require the necromancer to either ask or risk turning hostile.

It should honestly be off by default because i can't imagine a new player would appreciate something as silly as that. I've been playing for a decade now and its not too hard to restart my forts haha nothing lost beyond some irritation.

Yeah really missing DT.

Can we get a tile version or have someone explain how to make a tile version ourselves? i thought i did it but shit got reeeeaaallly weird and castes dident work for some reason....

Ohgod can you upload a graphic tileset version? or explain how to install a graphics pack hahaha i swear its like fucking rocket science thrown on top of quantum physics--i still cant play with ACSII.

I loved your mod because it had tons of things to kill since vanilla gets boring fast without true carnage of multiple hostiles siegeing--will you be adding beastmen/werewolves or does the undead fill the niche of weak hordes? I love the idea of dwarven plate! could you also add bulwark shields that cover a larger area but are heavier? I want to open my drawbridge and let the undead hordes see 30 dwarves clad in full plate with behind giant square shields with mine carts filled with giant spinning blades sailing over their heads into the mass.

oh god oh god oh god I DONT HAVE ANY TIME DAMN YOU!

Mother of god no damp/warm stone spam would be fucking godly.

I'm revisting my bottom of the lake fortress and i was wondering--if i opened an aquifer would it fill up the entire pit i would dig around my inner fortress or would i need pumps to raise the water level?

Is there any updates you still have planned or is this a fairly final release? i hate creating a game and getting into it then watching as you release another update with something awesome.

Looking to create a good Genesis world, but need some help. I know what the settings do (most of them) but I ruined more than one world changing them too much, so would like to know useful limits. If you folks could give advice on subtle changes to the AWG to move toward what I am looking for below I would appreciate it.

I assume for Genesis to get all the races you need all the biomes (dunedwellers need deserts, ect.) so that's necessary.

I like large worlds with minerals everywhere. I would like a world with more than average mountains, more than average temperate (maybe leaning slightly warm to reduce the number of freezing water in the winter embarks), and more than average medium savagery. Lets say 60% moderate, 20% good, 20% evil, and 20% savage, 20% calm. (temp should follow that pattern as well, 60% slightly warm, 20% each hot and cold ranges).

I like larger, more open caves. When the setting for cavern openness is expressed as 0-100 in the AWG, does that mean it randomly picks a number and applies that to the whole world, or does it randomly pick a number for each and every embark square that could be different? I usually change openness from the base of 0-100 to 50-100 and density from 0-100 to 0-50. Is that too much of a change or maybe even not enough (for fertile (that is, plants everywhere), wide open caverns with a high % chance of underground lakes)? I don't need it to be obscene (100 openness, 0 density), just nicely more open and less dense than vanilla.

I'd like enough history and civs so all the races exist and are established, but not so much there is abandoned stuff everywhere and it it overcrowded. I usually go 250 years, would you recommend more or less?

Thanks!

Tweaking the biomes is bothersome and complex your better off relying on the default setting, minerals = 9000 is a good setting and will guarantee theres multiple veins of metal so its not hard to make weapons and armor. Like it seems the settings mean its going to be between x-y so you have to accept what caverns come out of that or just go with the obscene 100 openness, 0 density.
