I go with what I get dealt. It's more Fun that way. There's always going to be places to embark, so what the hell.

This.

Yeah.  That's the dwarf way.  If the embark site isn't to your liking, then carve out the very earth until it is.

[Minnakht]

What I want from my embark is sand and only a partial aquifer at most. And lots of trees, if possible.

I don't insist on iron and the like, being mainly a trapper. Goblins die before they get inside my fort, cockscrewed by tens of green glass cockscrews.

*ahem* :3

I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and say it was a typo

Now? Only once. In 40d? Literally dozens. With guaruntees of water and magma the only time i'd need to gen more then one world is if I wanted the perfect extreme-cliff embark. Even then I would probably only want extreme cliffs to build aboveground megaprojects, which can be solved by increasing the sky cap and would be much more FPS friendly.

[Cydonian Monk]

I generate worlds many, many times depending on what I want to build.  But I also only use very small worlds (33x33), so the odds that what I want in an embark being available on a certain map are low. 

As of late I've been focusing on long-running (100+ years) forts of dead dwarf civs built in the Artic regions of 1,000 year old worlds where the dwarves are at WAR with the Elves.  (Death to all friends of Nature!)  I've genned two almost good worlds out of more than a hundred that meet those requirements, but neither has iron where I need it.  That hasn't been a problem with SmithTemple - humans bring enough iron anvils and other scrap over the course of 100 years to make up for the lack of local iron.

[MagmaMan54]

As many as needed before I get a volcano.

Oh, and if the world's all aquifers, then I regen.
