[The Dorfmeister]

Hello, everyone.

I just tried out a little program named "JustEmbark", that I found some time ago to embark my fortresses on various interesting spots. I have tried elven forest retreats, tombs, necromancer towers and even dark pits.

It worked great. But then I tried to embark on human cities, maybe building a society of sewer-dwarves or something silly, but... it doesnīt work as intended. Most parts of the city were replaced with trees or mountains/hills, with the walls of the few remaining houses and even the castle mixed with normal mountain rock walls. 

It looked as if the mountains "grew" into the city at embark. There were also no humans, but a lot of wild animals. Now is my question if the embark area is randomly generated every time, and if yes, why does it spawn mountains in the city, but not in dark pits or forest retreats?

Greetings, The Dorfmeister.

That thing is at least three years old, obsoleted and re-obsoleted more times than I can count. How did you not make everything explode?

DFHack has its own "embark anywhere" module that works fine. I can't remember if it's part of the standard package, but the Starter Pack has it ready to go.

Okay, then I should get the "Embark Everywhere" module and try it again. Thank you.

By the way, "JustEmbark" works fine with no crashes or errors (other than the "mountainous cities") in my version. I didnīt know that it is so obsolete.
