In a world I'd randomly created I found a location on the zoomed-out map where a mountain tile was directly adjacent to an ocean tile.  When I established a fortress there it was a high cliff rising vertically above a yellow sandy beach.  I really liked this location but I have searched through many randomly generated maps and tried all kinds of different combinations under the world designer (many resulting in "trouble placing mountains" or "trouble placing oceans" errors) without coming across the same thing - there are always tiles of some other type separating the mountains from the ocean.  Anybody have any idea how to get me another one of those or is it forever lost, something I'll have to dream of in the Dwarven Afterlife?

I generally set the elevation variance to max if I want some ocean cliffs and weight the elevation brush to make lots of highest and lowest elevations. I also turn the erosion cycles to 0 and the periodic erosion to no. Try those out, and if you still have problems with it, I can probably find the params of one of my maps with oceanside cliffs.

Thanks, that did the trick.  I had misunderstood what elevation variance meant.

I had genned a near-perfect world.
Beach cliff with a volcano, complete with marble, diorite, and other fun stuff.

Glad to have helped, and enjoy your map.
