http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/v0.31:Advanced_world_generation#Mineral_Scarcity

‼Science‼ on advanced world-gen parameters for mineral scarcity in v0.31 (still applicable in DF2012) shows that the abundance doesn't really start ramping up until the number gets below 1000. Try 500, that might be better while not as crazy-abundant as 100.

Hmm, If I posted the world gen, is it possible to change the mineral levels after the fact?

Well, you'll just need to start genning more worlds. Sorry. That valley looked nice, though...

Ok I think I found another good world with High minerals on it.
There was a Dwarf that killed a Hydra in year SIX, so I have high hopes of this!

Sadly not found another "Valley of Dwarves" like the last one, but some spots do look good.
Found a 30+ tall Volcano right on the border of a Sinister region that has raining Putrid Sludge, and a beefy River with Alligators and CARP.

Unfortunately won't be able to post screencaps till I get home from work in a  few hours.
In the mean time I WILL Post the world gen for others who want to look for good spots.

EDIT: For those following, the current plan goes as follows.
FIRST we find a spot for the fortress. Preferably near one of the Dwarf starting civs.
Once we have the spot we goto Adventure mod. The "mission" will basically be, where ever you start in the world, you will fight your way as near as possible to our fort spot and Retire.
once all Seven players have made it, we will start the fort proper.

Right now need about 5 more people to sign up as adventurers.

I notice you are using 0.34.06 instead of 0.34.07...

Oh well, I can deal with a few bugs not fixed. You'll have to give us the entire Df folder, since some of us already updated to .07 and deleted the .06.

Don't worry, I can zip up the whole folder if needed, not an issue.
For those interested just let me know if you still have a copy of 34.06

Why not just generate the same world with altered Mineral Scarcity?

700 to 850 gives a range similar to d40 by the way.

Someone said you can't redo a world gen.
If you can, I posted the worldgen for the first world at the top, If you want to try to redo it with higher minerals let me know of results!!!

I think it should be possible to have everything identical except the mineral scarcity if you use the same seeds, which it looks like you did. I'd make sure of that myself with that world, except I'm on a netbook and while my forts run OK on it I do use pocket worlds and DF froze up the last time I tried genning a large region.

I do this all the time so I can tell you from firsthand knowledge that it'll work; so long as the seeds are the same, you can change things to your heart's content and still get the exact same world.

Civilizations will have different names, symbols, and history if you change things underground such as adding plants or altering mineral scarcity, but they almost always start in the same location.

considering we are only doing 10years worth of history. I doubt that will change much.
Would it change starting locations? It would be nice if we could preserve the "Valley Of the Dwarves" we have planned.

When I gen the world, I got a J shaped valley in the Bronze Towers with the inner portion of the crossbar being occupied by the Mountainhome of the Work of Mosses, which is just to the west of the junction of Herobeans the Spotted Forest and the Spurting Twines.

Mineral scarcity was dropped to 700 by the way for that gen.

Armok bless you!
Sounds almost exactly like what I got.
Can you post some screenshots?
Or upload the file to DFFD?

If it is like the original, and we do have plenty of minerals. I will begin hosting it immediately and we can begin,,,

PHASE ONE!!!
