Incredible region for newbie and !!science!!
« on: March 12, 2012, 05:12:53 pm »
I got a really nice embark at a surface volcano that can be easily channeled to make magma protected entrance and a HUGE plateau. This is quite a nice map overall.

I will pack the save as a zip file, I just need to know where I could upload it.... Anybody got a nice web site for that? Does the Wiki has a page for that?

Lately, I'm proud of MAGMA LANDMINES:

And been a bit smug over generating a world with an elephant monster that got 87763 sentient kills.

Here it is, enjoy and give feedback about that embark. You will need to abandon the fortress and reclaim this 4*5 region with your desired embark profile.

Thanks for posting this.  I have been looking for a surface volcano recently.

The last world I genned had a completely flat plains area, then right in the middle, a sudden rise that went up 63 z levels.  That was the volcano!

It was interesting to say the least.  A ready made magma tower.

Look at the "Posting Examples" part, should be the same or thereabouts.
