questions about finding ideal spot on map
« on: April 08, 2010, 12:45:13 pm »

Sorry if this has already been gone over elsewhere.

The feature that lets you look for an ideal spot on the map for a fortress, specifying its dimensions and elevation and so forth..   No longer  has options for magma or special features.   Are these going to go back in at some point, or have I missed something?

All fortresses now have essentially all the special features. They're just underground.

 Currently the number of 'perfect' spots has increased, as most features are guaranteed on every embark tile. Still, there are a few that you need to look for:
 Flux
 Sand
 Possibly a river, if you want one
 A mountain tile

 I believe there is a feature or two that only generates on mountain tiles.

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

It's been confirmed that the super secret spoiler features show up once per embark tile, no mountain necessary. However, you aren't guaranteed to get one unless you're on a 16x16 site.
