It is my suspicion that the terrain of classic mode is far less likely to meet these spawning conditions. It is also my understanding that the current spawning rates are very high, so high in fact, that if the spawning conditions are met, it almost certainly spawns a settlement. So I suppose what you really want would be for the spawning conditions to be less specific, right?

Just out of curiousity, if classic mode isn't providing you a suitable experience, why not play on normal mode?

Because classic provides a better exploration experience. I wouldn't know what's waiting for me in the next biome or when will an orc squad moving towards the settlement. There just might be a troll camp next to my base and if I found out, that would be my next main objective to take over the place. In normal mode you will have to go to the certain biome to face certain enemy, and you will know what to expect and that takes a bit of fun away. Not to mention each biome's zone is gigantic, you will see the same scenary for a long time to really get somewhere, especially when with an army. Tho invasion system provides a bit of threat, but it is really limited since they can never truly take over a settlement （NPC respawner will keep pop up units）. So I would rather lead an army to an orc camp next door than wait in an village for invasion to happen That being said, if normal mode has a way higher spawn rate, I would definitely give it a try again It's late so half of what I wrote above probably doesn't make sense, sry :)
