Great start location
« on: September 01, 2008, 10:45:55 am »
It's got sand, magma, aquifer, plenty of flux and iron.  There's a huge amount of copper, some platinum, and aluminum, and more than a few gold veins.  It's in an evil biome, but has access to all the civs.

Created in DF v0.28.181.39f.

[WORLD_GEN]
   [TITLE:MEDIUM]
   [SEED:513992419]
   [HISTORY_SEED:1903140095]
   [NAME_SEED:568780382]

I'm still running vanilla 39f with the default world gen, but you should be able to upgrade if you want to. (after world gen)

I'm not sure how to pull the coords of the site I used.  This might help:
Churchsabres-15-region1-233-2115.bmp

I used site-finder to get it.

Well didn't find the one you were talking about but I found two interesting places.
One has HFS, an underground pool and river (I think), sand, flux, magma (pipe I think), two sediment layers, and plenty of trees. Theres also some high cliffs and access to all civs.
I'll post more about the other location (not as good as the one I told about already) and the save for it tommarow.

edit: holy shit! a few Bauxite deposits, at least 3 coal and magnetite deposits each, horn silver, and magma pool all on surface! About 19 levels from bottom to top. I struck the motherload spot here. I'm thinking when I upload the save (I have a copy of before I embarked) a bunch of us should embark at the same place and each write a story for ourselves to see how we do things differently.

I think that would be a trip. Unline community forts it would be a competition using the same map to see how we all turned out.

My site had a small bauxite deposite.  Enough to build a few floodgates and mechanisms for moving it around a bit.

There's not many evil zones on the map, shouldn't be too hard to find the one with the magma pipe

It also had a stupid amount of trees, and small deposits of most of the other metal types.  The only thing it's missing is HFS.

I think I'm going to need to find a map with HFS for my next embark.

If you didn't generate in the same version as me, you aren't going to get the same map...

a good reason not to read the wiki in it's entirety before playing.

It stands for Hidden Fun Stuff , or, the kind of suprises that can kill you quickly, but are a lot of fun, especially when you tell about it later.
