Seriously, just make it an option. 1x1 embarks seem pretty cool, especially now.

Sounds like it still works for setting 1x1, the error it throws up has to do with the site finder

[Beeskee]

Yeah I knew there was a utility. It should be a simple change to allow 1x1 forts in the game tho without needing a special program.

[scira]

The utility doesn't work for me, so I support this, Although I don't play 2010 yet so I guess it doesn't matter anyway.

no point making something that has already been implemented , and who the hell would want to play a 1x1 Embark Site? for Fun , maybe , but most of us here don't need goblins teleporting inside your fortress

For other purposes. Like making an equipment dump site for adventurers, just outside of that town over there.

Nano sites have great FPS, so that is reason enough.

Being extremelly constrained by map is also fun

Nano fortresses are fun challenges. Invariably your fortress ends up as a single gigantic tower as you must build vertically due to the very limited real estate.

Also your FPS goes through the roof with a nano fortress. With a nano fortress and 150 dwarves, tons of animals, and even flowing liquids I can get above 250 FPS.

I'd like to see this possible in the vanilla game, I see no reason why it shouldn't be added. Has Toady ever mentioned why the 2² limit is in place?

[Footkerchief]

I also support this functionality being added to the game itself.

[Tarran]

Me to, it's not like it would take much work, since Nano Fortress does it easily.

yes it does but not with the graphical merge (at least in 40d series it haven't worked after the graphical change) and surprisingly there are people who like to play it (myself included) i feel lost on something bigger then 1x1 :S

While we're at it, how about enabling (through an init option or whatever) the 'embark anywhere' effect (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=21351.0) for those of us who like the challenge of starting in the middle of the ocean and instantly drowning? (or in the middle of a mountain range, but that's not as challenging)

This would be neato but should probably be a thread of its own  It's closer to cheating than this modification, and the whole hoopla around it will probably derail this thread if people pick it up and run with it.

I support this simple idea because it'd be good for a few players and have no negative effect on anyone.  I'd like to have an embark warning on sites below 3x3 though, just to make sure newbies know that they're going to be limiting themselves this way.
