I'm having trouble with getting elves to show up in my worlds. I've been building with generally high-savagery, high monster worlds. Even with a high number of civilizations, they seem to be getting crowded out by towers.

I might be wrong, but I've never seen a parent civ start in a high savagery tile.  Including elves, goblins, humans, or dwarves.  In a test world I built, I had one square set to zero savagery, and the rest at 100.  No other civs would form outside that first tile.
However, sites would form, at least for some of them, in high savagery tiles.

High death (from high titan, mega, semi-mega) counts certainly contribute to more towers, as do more civs.  You may have to manually paint savagery to ensure there's some low savagery areas for civs to form, or just reduce the savagery variance to something below 300 with 0/100 min/max to give larger zero areas.

Noob question but how can you paint world tiles?

I flooded my second forts second floor by assign channel on the wrong z-lvl when removing a hill close to a river. I noticed it pretty fast that one tile had changing water lvls from 6-7-6-7  constantly + waterfall effect . I didn't realize then that changing numbers in the river meant that something was flowing downwards I thought it was the current that did it.

In my newest fort were 3 diggers stopped moving after I the removed all but one ramp so they could get up but they refused to use it. Took me a while to figure out that the magma glass furnace was blocking the ramp

Picture say it all. I struck a adamantite vein that had a open pipe all the way down to hell..

Took about 1 h for the demons to burn above ground, kill everyone(Left the sick and jailed dwarfs to last) and flood the fortress. One wrestler dwarf survived 30mins against 3 demons and he was Unconscious half of the time.

8 years and 205 dwarfs at its peek and now nothing left but rubble..
