Worlds are a layer of World Generation.

World is a configuration of one or more Pockets with various balancing factors, such as the amount of Biomes per Pocket or how many turns rival explorers need to reach their goal. Compared to Biomes or Pockets a World defintion is relatively compact, but it offers fundamental options for balancing gameplay. This makes Worlds one of the most important aspect of your difficulty tuning.
