Simple question what is your favorite biome?

Personally I like Tropical broadleaf forests, because they have a large number of creatures, and I can create an army of giant killer cats.

I prefer temperate broadleaf forests, with a minor river. 

Just me.  Oh and in Orichalcum there are the occasional steeloak trees for use in anti-elf weaponry.

It's hard to say, because I vary between making underground and above-ground forts. I love Mountains for the underground ones, but I'm not too picky about my choice of area for an above-ground fort as long as it's pretty flat...

I'm glad I'm not the only one that dislikes tropical conifers.

It's not a mountainhome without a mountain to carve into. A sheer cliff face is like a canvas to me, and I go for those before anything else. Granted, resources can get a bit tight at times, but I make do.

I like mountains that are 'Joyous Wilds' so I can decorate my masterwork adamantine battle axes with unicorn horn handles. The only problem are the gnomes that steal your beer.

I like volcanoes, but since I don't think they count... Oceans. All kinds of Fun that can be had with a crap ton of water everywhere.

Temperate forests, and sometimes shrublands.

Every so often I'll wander into tropical regions as well, though I tend to avoid forests there.

Oh, and I also like sand deserts. But temperate forests are my "favorite" :P
