My world gen doesn't seem to be making jungles. Every biome is "temperate." Even in 'jungle' regions, like The Jungle of Competition, the biomes are all temperate. I wanted to start on a map with more exotic creatures, like elephants, just for the Fun of it, but the Wiki says I need a tropical biome? I'm using 40d16, and the default world gen params. Do I need a custom seed to get tropical regions? Thanks.

Oh no no no, "Temperate" is one of the varying climates (From most cold to most hot: Freezing, Cold, Temperate, Warm, Hot, Scorching). Temperate biomes can still be jungle.

(Or i'm completely wrong and just rambling insanities. That is also an option.)

Try doing a large sized world. I had that same problem too and for some reason, jungles/rainforests (like what you're looking for) only show up on large maps.

Scorching?

I need to try making a fortress in one of those.

What kind of biome an area is should be at the top of the information on the embark screen.

It should say "Temperate Broadleaf Forest" or "Tropical Savanna" or whatever somewhere on the screen when you move around. So You'll know when you find a jungle biome.

But yes, generate large worlds. They contain a much greater variance of biomes.

I think medium sized worlds may have tiny bits of tropical right along the edge of the map. In an earlier game when I was doing medium worlds, I noticed that caravans would often have stuff made from tropical trees and animals, but I couldn't find any tropical biomes, which led me to ask a similar question as this one.
