While not really important, could be interesting.

The new maximum size of a site (17x17), If I read correctly, is equal to a pocket world's size.
So we can potentially end up with worlds that are made up entirely by one city.

Must...Resist...References.

This is relevant to my interests. Would that world run alright in a decent run-of-the-mill computer?

Well, my PC is from April 2012, and I haven't experienced an FPS Death yet...
Mainly because I don't play Fortress mode.

But I think so, after all - it's just one huge site, but nothing else.

Although I question whether it would be possible for the game to gen it, since there wouldn't be any place for anything else, unless we can have overlapping sites now.

Great, so you can potentially fuck over the entire world?

Either that or the thing will be rejected.
Disappointment follows.

Do it man, do it.

Time to build the world's largest fort: the world.

Problem with this idea:
Minimum world size is 17x17 world tiles
Maximum embark size is 16x16 embark tiles
Each world tile is 16x16 embark tiles

Therefore you can still fit 289 (17x17) maximum size embarks in a minimum size world.

Sorry.

Largest site possible =/= largest playable site

Toady explicitly stated that we can't make or reclaim the 17x17 sites, but they will be there.

Still, making a world of obsidian is still legit - magma + water pump stack on the surface.
And loads upon loads of retired forts. (if you could even call them that)

I'm fairly sure you've read it incorrectly. The pocket world size is 17x17 (haven't checked this, but it's a moot point), and the largest sites will be 17x17 - but a world's size is measured in world tiles, and sites are measured in embark tiles. A single world tile is 16x16 embark tiles.

So the maximum sites are actually over one world tile?
Still huge.

OH WELL.
Alas...Lots of good stuff bound to happen.
