Can someone help me find a map Please?
« on: March 15, 2010, 11:30:31 pm »

I'm looking for a map with a HFS, magma, trees + river (or just underground river), and all civs as neighbors, preferably as dangerous a biome as possible. Can this be done in a 3x3?  If not a 4x4?  I can't seem to find one where I have all civs neighboring because it doesn't look like I can search for that in world gen unless I'm missing something.

Thanks!

Try this worldgen, I have found many sites that match your parameters with it.  Might take a couple tries to get something perfect but it has been good for me.  Sometimes elves wont live through worldgen, but most of the time they do.

I have a 4x4 that has what you need. No river, but does have an underground river.

You don't get true "rivers" on mountain tiles, you will always get brooks. So no HFS and carp on any map (that I'm aware of).

But the map I have has magma, bottomless pit, trees (not a lot of them, but some), untamed wilds, freezing biome, underground river, HFS, and a ton of Z-levels.

I found a nice map using gtmattz's presets. It's a 2x2 square that has quite a bit of sand, a magma pipe (a blessing or a curse, you decide), a lot of marble for flux and general sweetness, a tiny bit of iron, no fuel, no water sources but a few pools that would fill a sizeable cistern at least, and 2 tiles worth of forest.

This is a 4x4, and it's not exactly the most terrifying place to embark, though, it does have plenty in the way of features...

Flux, Aquifer, River(Brook), underground river, underground pool, magma pool, magma pipe, chasm, HFS, 100 z-levels, a tiny bit of sand and access to all civs.

Press "p" to allow all rejects when asked.

Brooks are so damn boring. Anyone got a minor river or stream with some waterfall action?

I really wish there was a way to get standard rivers on mountain tiles. I agree, brooks get boring after a bit.

Regular rivers have much more interesting formations generally.

Too bad that you either have carp or HFS, but not both.

I would absolutely love a waterfall and a HFS, but I've given up on my quest....for now.
