Cool embark site
« on: August 01, 2012, 07:45:00 am »

I happened to find a really cool embark site. If anyone is interested I'll post the world gen parameters and coordinates.

It's a warm, heavily forested, area where two rivers meet. The cool thing is that it has a natural waterfall 7-Z levels high into a large river/lake area with completely vertical cliffs all around.  So I'm going to get seven levels of rooms with a decent view of a waterfall. :P

I am currently investigating what Brainfreez is on. It is the greatest drug that any man, woman, kobold or pony has ever seen, going off of that everything he posts is pure win.

Here it is.  Find the location by going south from your initial position until 'Temperate' turns to 'Warm'.  If that doesn't work I can post a screen shot.

Waterfalls. *Shudders* DO NOT BE FOOLED! THEY ARE DEMONS IN DISGUISE! MANY A FORTS HAVE PERISHED TO THEM!

Every dwarf, every dwarven man, women, and child, that comes to our forts will die there; it's truly sad when you think about it. And we ask our selves, why? Why do we push forward, knowing this fate, that we are destined for failure? Because, this game grasps the concept of mortality. Some games you can never lose, but we all stop eventually, causing a 'death' to those game's 'worlds'. Dwarf Fortress gives us a definite end, knowing that we will leave that world eventually, and move on to more.

He may just have been referring to all the people that try to walk across the top and get swept over to their doom.

The flooding is something to be concerned about as well, however.

For me, it was went the waterfall thawed before the river below did.  This set up a situation where it ended up with 9/7 water in the streambed at the bottom of the falls.  The water fell fast enough to maintain this situation, and when winter rolled around again I then had spots of ice two z-levels tall in a few places.  This just exacerbated the situation the following spring. I did not get a chance to see what happened on the third winter, as the zombies ate my dwarves during the second summer.
