I've been spending some time on my world-crafting shenanigans lately, and created one with Masterwork settings that I just had to share.
External picture link, because the image is freaking huge (Legends export)
Features- two large oceans, 1 good & 1 evil, for all manner of beach time !FUN! Also it was necessary in order to create the rivers and waterfalls.
- natural waterfalls (although I was successfully able to create & adjust more using the brush-painting feature of Perfect World).
- A single large mountain formation, plus several smaller ones, allowing the Dwarves a buffer to establish themselves in the world. Occasionally Dwarves are extinct, but that is a rare occurrence.
- Highly mixed and diverse biomes. You can easily get 3+ biomes in your embark if you really want, although the resulting site tends to resemble a magical sneeze
- Vanilla races can usually hold their own, despite the insane number of Beasts and hostile races/invaders (assuming you have them enabled).
- Edit: The North 1/5 of the world is frozen, covering mountain, ocean, and all manner of biomes. Just in case you want to see what a tiger-popsicle looks like.
Just copy the following into your World Gen text file, and create a new world. Enjoy!

No thefts or other destruction. Unless my critters are suddenly eating stuff, something is causing a rapid consumption of prepared meals.
Just slowly. Truth be told, I'm rather at a loss for my next steps. The fort is completely self-sustaining, and a peek at Legends shows there are no nearby hostiles. I've moved all the boulders to a QSP and reorganized both labor & military to suit my tastes. Other than that, I'm not sure what to do. I mean sure, I could build a statue or magma weapon, but it just wouldn't feel personal. Even after I learned the Fortress layout, it still felt... sterilized. Perfect squares and layout. No emergency doors, no coffins jammed in a wall, etc. This was a fun diversion for a bit, but it just doesn't have the same feel as a personal or succession fort.
I created a world that I rather like the design of, but I want to adjust the Good/Evil parameters. However, when I checked the data\saves folder, I could not find the seed info. Can someone tell me where I find a world's seed info? Also, will generating a world using that seed, but different parameters, produce completely different geography, or only different for the parameters I change?
