I found this collection of extreme peaks rising from a mountainous swamp.

The world is medium size with seed 0, no other custom settings.  The location is about halfway up on the world map and to the left in the main mountain range within a swamp called the Tapered Mire.  Mountain is called  The Axe of Soots.

How high are said peaks? Looks to me about 90.

How many embark tiles is it, and what features does it have? Looks like you have a bottomless pit, do you have purring maggots or a GCS? Flux, water, magma, HFS, anything else? If you have magma, water, flux, and HFS, you're in good shape.

Screenshot of embark, please?
It's easier than telling us.

The map occupies levels 280 - 134 total, the swamp being at 149 and the tops of the mountains at about 265.  There are aquifers.  The visual fortress screenshot is of a 8x8 start location.  There's a chasm feature to the north east I think.  I haven't done any digging.  Here's a screen of the location:

and yeah, that's a pit you see there.

Looks like the ultimate 'build a tower' embark. I wonder if worldgens will create the same world, ignoring history and names, in the new version? ...But then again, there's the new unlimited z-level feature...

If you open your INIT file, you can change some options to show features like magma, HFS, UGR/UGPs and chasms in the Embark window.

1) Open your INIT file. It will be under the directory: Dwarf Fortress/data/init/init.txt

2) Find the line that says [SHOW_EMBARK_RIVER:NO] (and a bunch of other stuff.)

3) Change NO to ALWAYS for all other items (eight of them) and save the file. Restart Dwarf fortress. You can now view site features from the embark screen.

4)

5) Profit

Ooh, that's even taller than my mountain (only 100 compared to your 116).



By the way, when you post images, I would suggest using the direct link inside IMG tags inside Spoiler tags, like this:

Just look at all that orthoclase and microcline.  Simply terrifying, and also kind of silly when you stop to think about it.  If mountains in real life were like their DF counterparts, every mountain would look like a rainbow.  Still, nifty find there.  Not enough magma to suit my tastes, but nifty just the same.

If you look at parts of the Grand Canyon, the layers has a slight deviation to them, granted it goes from 'rocky' color to 'a slightly different shade of rocky' color. Certainly not from screamin' light blue to dark green.

Well, such is the weakness of tile-based systems; and, you know, unrealistic rock placement and etc.
But in the next version, I think rock pockets are going to span z-levels! I'm probably more excited about that then I should be.
