Someone help me find a map!
« on: February 20, 2010, 01:19:44 am »

If someone can find me an embark location that looks anything like...



this! I will love you forever :D.

If you can find one with magma, flux, HFS... Even more <3

Brown = Soil/Sand (rock is okay too if you cant get that)

Blue = River

Green = Grass/Open space

Edit: Oh! Important part! Version 40d16!

Heh, this is rich...

You are going to have to have mountain (read:rock) if you want HFS, I think.

All the 'big' features excluding magma require mountain tiles to appear. As such, you might want to revise your choice. However, if you are trying to emulate Boatmurdered, that was created in the 2d version, and is impossible to reproduce in the current version.

not impossible.

I've genned some worlds which come close, they have similar geometry (plain with river, mountainside with some of the parts - cave river, magma pool/pipe etc) but I still haven't found one that's close enough to be a true emulation.

I generally don't keep old worlds hanging around, but if I find one, it'll sure be posted somewhere for people to play with.

Yeah, it doesn't have to be an exact same shape as what I drew, I just want a mountain that runs along side a river :P

It is impossible. Apart from z-levels, in the current version there is no such thing as either the magma river (unfortunately) or the second chasm for the HFS.

However, for a river running alongside some mountin, that might be a little challenging still, as rivers usually originate on mountains if there are any around, meaning they tend to run perpendicular to the edge of the mountains. Still quite possible, though, and even easy if you don't have many other requests to go with it.

I'll keep looking around, i keep getting maps that are small little hills next to a river, but I will find it!
