Request for a save with a small lake
« on: October 15, 2011, 07:42:27 pm »
I have been attempting to gen a world to get one all day.

I want a small lake.  3x3 or less for lake area with a 3x3 or 3x4 embark.  Bonus points if it has a river flowing through it.

That's all the map requires.  It feels like it takes a lot of luck.  Even if you haven't got a saved world with it, any tips to find it/gen a world with it?

hm, I do have a map with an almost completely flat landscape with a lot of murky pools, some of which probably fit that size. Also has a river flowing through the middle roughly which is a good source of fresh water and fish. Trees are in huge supply and collectible plants are massed as well. Only hitch is that it's savage neutral, and I've already been building there for a while. Any good?

Most people's relationship with Dwarf Fortress is akin to Stockholm Syndrome.

Well, can I get the seed for it?  I can adjust the savagery, ext. myself, I just need the seed and other world params.

Alternatively, yes, I could make it work.

There's a thread somewhere around, I don't recall in which forum, called the World Cookbook, which should let you design a world with lots of lakes.

I've done it (and several time) and I have only gotten large lakes.
