As of right now, I'm seeking at least a cliffside (an actual cliffside; you know, hig land mass, and a sheer non-ram cutoff for a grand portion of the other side), preferably crescent-shaped. Plenty of already exposed materials, decent Z-level difference. Manufacturing such a site is acceptable, provided minimal effort required for desired shape. Woodlands (especially dense) is preferred.

My intention for such a site is to construct a suspended city over the cliffside. I already made blueprints ages ago, but have yet to actually work on it. Would help to actually have real cliffs NOT separated by a river though. Just a significant Z-drop level (min. 10Z).

I already found a similar site, split by a river with a waterfall, I just need to remove the neighboring mountainside that is mostly cutoff from the mainland, but still requires a bridge to cross to reach it. Unfortunately, it looks like a bit of effort is required to shave it all down. Hopefully, I can find a workaround, or at least get some miner immigrants. to help whittle things down. I gotta get rid of the foliage as well to maximize the potential of the site. Not much a fan of the exposed minerals however as an end result. I was looking more forward to having grasslands dominate the floors like shown in the plans.

Volcano inside mountains, with river and small serene forest = no elves(mountains block them), easy ‼science‼ testing zone

I always try to build around interesting bits of landscape.  If the landscape I pick doesn't appeal to me, I'll choose a different site.  I've even gone so far as to go prospecting with an adventurer before embarking.

Relatively flat surface, a slade fortress, at least one adamantine tube, a section of cave with limitless water with a river or fresh water lake above ground, a flux layer, and a magma pipe that goes from the magma sea to the third or second cave level.

Sand is easy enough to force on every site by deleting entries other then white and black sand, and then deleting the aquifer tag from one of the two.

Flat space, backed into as sheer a cliff wall as possible, leading to a tall mountain. Hopefully it's in a deep forest with a flowing stream adjacent.

[UnrealJake]

I like lakes. And forests. Often both =D

[L0master]

I create medium-sized world. Then search for metamorphic layer. Then around it search for sedimentary layer. I choose my embark location to have both sedimentary and metamorphic and don't care for difficulties like extreme climate, savagery, horryfying surroundings, aquifers or salt water. Actually i love these challenges.

I try to get a semi-flat river with Flux and iron.

Yeah, I'm boring.

[zwei]

Two or more rivers joining (and lots of cliffs/watefalls that come along with this).
Flux/Sedimentary layer.

I would love rivers forming "trident" where i can have fort split by two by "central" river.

[Urist Imiknorris]

Desert with a stream.

I'd like a flat river that merges with another body of water. I don't want there to be an aquifer, nor do I want the underground caves (but I leave them on so the Dwarves aren't nerfed too badly). I'd prefer marble, since it's pretty, and the magma sea is welcomed too. Interesting biomes are cool, but grass/trees are a must -- I want it green. Freezing depends on the body of water -- freezing lakes are nice, freezing rivers less so since they're more easily dammed than lakes.

I pretty much build above ground forts exclusively, so I'll just dig out the marble and set a half dozen mason workshops to repeat blocks and go from there.
