World of only evil! Rise to the challenge!
« on: October 22, 2014, 06:53:27 pm »

Our story begins in the year 72, and the world of Orid Thran was a scornful place.
Beasts roamed free, evil was rampant, and no one was safe.
That's where we come in, my friends. What I want to make is an Adventurer Mode succession world which takes place in a world where almost every biome is evil, where no one place will ever be safe, not even the mountainhomes. Not even the peace-loving elves in their forest retreats will be at peace with nature THIS evil. Yes, the world itself is almost 100% pure evil, and I want us to rise to the challenge to tame this unholy place by any means necessary. You may join the ranks of the creatures of the night, become a paladin of holy wrath, a beast tamer whose skills are unmatched, or whatever suits your fancy. We must defeat this forsaken world or die trying.

RULES
You may attempt to build a fortress to attempt to prepare your warrior, I have increased embark points a little and made minerals very frequent to help with this.
Use any means at your disposal to bring an end to the savage beasts that plague the world.
Gather the spoils of victory and bring them home, wherever your home may be.
You will have five IRL days to make a name for yourself, however many names there will be.
Document any and all events that occur.
Remember, losing is fun and we want to see how it happened.

TURN ORDER
PsychoAngel
Tacomagic
Pisskop
ptb_ptb
Tonnot98
Aelund
Tavern
Hugo Luman (maybe)

Few details about the world:
I cut the number of beasts dead for stoppage in halph, making it 40% instead of 80%.
Mineral scarcity is 450 to help with adventurer preparation via fortress mode. The world is rich should you dare to stake a claim.
Minimum savagery was set to 45.
The only dwarven settlements I've seen post-generation are in the mountain ranges far to the west.

Spoiler: Our "Grand" World (click to show/hide)

That's all for now, guys!

Make it savage as dickens and super dichotomous.  A little light with your dark.  And no need to make super-high volcanoes.

I'm trying to make a world that is evil enough to be absolutely a scary, but with enough good leftover to make it hospitable.
But yes, that's how it's going to go. And I keep generating more and more because I want one that's scraping the lines of insanity.
Also, I've set the minimum savagery to 45, and the game keeps giving me warnings. We'll see how insane the worldgen becomes as a result.
EDIT: Finally did it guys! A world where the only places that are not entirely evil are the mountains! This should be fun...

Apologies for double-post.

I'm not going to be here for the next few days, so if you want to start, one of you will need to take turn one. Also, I'm updating the rules with a few more details.

You forgot to upload your world, I think ;).

Sounds like a cool project. I might take a closer look.

I would love a turn in this!

Maybe I can finally enjoy a succession game without drowning or being paralyzed by a vampire!

Not sure if dying of old age is an honor or a shame for weaponmasters. On the one hand, it means they never got the opportunity to die in glorious battle. On the other hand, it means nothing could beat them in glorious battle.

I might be interested, but before I commit:

Did you set megabeast caves, titans, vampires, necromancers, werewolves and the like, all to 999 in the advanced world options?

I hope so.

My goal is to be in a non-reanimating biome and kill ABSOLUTELY EVERY PIECE OF WILDLIFE I FIND.

I didn't set them insanely high like such, however I did raise them a bit. Sorry to disappoint in that regard, but we might be able to do that next round after we get acquainted with the insaneness of the current one. I'm hoping to start sometime tomorrow, if that's okay. I haven't been watching very well because for some reason the forum won't notify me of replies on this topic...

To clarify here.  Do we get 1 week to do whatever the heck we want, or are we limited to 1 fort and 1 adventurer?

With 1 week and a lot of free time, a body could accomplish a hell of a lot.  Or at least get a metric ton of adventurers killed after pockmarking the wastes with a slew of failed forts.
