Earth-looking map
« on: April 27, 2015, 05:29:04 am »
I played Dwarf Fortress years ago, and decided to come back. First world that it created:

Am I going crazy or does this resemble Earth?

EDIT:
Made another one, this one is even worse

Why settle for something that resembles the Earth, when you can make one?

Well, it's a good thing you had Dwarf Fortress to set you straight on that matter!

I had once a idea to select the advanced parameters, based on real life earth is. But forgot about it.

PS: I am not talking about some perfect world, earth map. But about selecting the advanced world parameters (but not seed), like Erosion Cycle Count, Periodically Erode Extreme Cliffs, Magma Layer,..................
