Summary

0010328: DEFAULT_TYPE:DARK_FORTRESS causes worldgen crashes when any position has CHAT_WORTHY

Description

DEFAULT_TYPE:DARK_FORTRESS causes worldgen crashes when any position has CHAT_WORTHY.

Steps To Reproduce

Give goblins dwarven nobility, the game will crash at the end of placing civilizations in worldgen.

Additional Information

Testing was done thusly:

(CRASH) Added in noble positions from dwarves.
(CRASH) When removed the landholder positions, but leaving in some CHAT_WORTHY ones.
(WORKS) When removed all chat worthy positions completely.
(WORKS) When all nobles are removed from goblins and VARIABLE_POSITIONS etc is added to dwarves (ensuring that it is not a matter of this causing the crash).
(WORKS) When dwarven nobles are added to goblins with CHAT_WORTHY removed but variable positions are still on.
(WORKS) When the variable positions are completely removed from goblins from 5 above.

This tells me that the CHAT_WORTHY is definitely causing the crash, not the inclusion of other positions. However, CHAT_WORTHY is the only thing that causes the position to be tracked in world gen, meaning that any positions without it are only created at the end of worldgen.

However, what is to be noted is that even after variable positions are removed, the demons still create their own positions when they rule the goblin civ.
