Too many towers
How do I tweak world gen to not have so many necromancer towers? Everywhere I've embarked so far has had 5+ towers within raiding distance and I'm sick of these busted undead invasions.

You could make a world with a history you like, build a fort just for destroying necros and once that is done, retire and build your actual fort.

Long history always means more people interested in beating mortality = more necromancers

I think you can config the world generation at the start.

I did a bit, decreased the amount of "secrets" which, iirc, is supposed to lower the amounts of necromancers
but there's still an unreasonable amount of them.

on a long enough timeline, the dead will outnumber the living and necromancers will eventually rule/destroy the world. it is the fate of every DF world and I think its kinda neat thematically.
but if you want less necromancers, you need less dead stuff and the only way to do that is have a shorter history

While I do understand a particular frustration with this many necro towers, why not roll with it and use it as the motivation for one of your forts? Nothing better than having squads jogging about the maps utterly decimating pesky necro-nerds! Who knows, you might even get your hands on a necro tome and have some F U N base defense plans awaiting you!
