65319740 - Seed
This seed has some very interesting mountain ranges with a variety of mirthfulness and horribleness and sereneness spattered about. There's also a couple pretty good spots right next to goblin fortresses, with adamantine right there, but I haven't found one with magma yet.
I'm thinking I'll play this one when the army arc is finished if another one doesn't strike my fancy before then. The civs are placed interestingly for an army campaign.
Here is the location I'm playing now:
There's black sand in the upper right corner, obsidian, coke for steelmaking, hematite and another iron ore; it's got everything I needed, but I wish it were smaller than 5x5.
harpies and beak dogs have shown up in the first season; there's an iron man in the pit. I haven't found the underground river yet, despite lots of full depth stairwells.
My hunter got torn apart by 3 beak dogs early on; his head flew a good distance.
Somehow, this song keeps starting to play when I'm playing DF; it's lyrics are "arms legs everywhere, arms legs everywhere, arms legs everywheeeere..." It fits DF in some macabre sort of way.
edit: found the underground river; it has about 3.5 pages of olmmen, frogmen, mudmen, lizardmen, and snakemen in it. It's going to be interesting trying to tap it. I'm thinking I'll put in a wall grate, maybe channel out the square to tap the water after that. Hopefully 50 water creatures don't come trampling into my fortress at that point.
