Decided to fire up a fort using a cocktail of SVE, What Lurks Below, Lands of Duality, and Primal.
I don't know what happened, I went in blind, but there's no dwarves, only subjugated/dispossessed humans from a nation known as The Embraced Kingdom. And no matter where they go, they have few friends. The settlers have chosen The Mire of Attack for thier home, mainly because it's centrally located and put them in range of at least four trade partners: Kestrel, Blue Shark, and Lizard Men as well as the Elves. Signs point to there hopefully being a chance for Lion Men to also be nearby that might come to the place as mercenaries, but they're a hair too far out for trade.
The place shall be known as Crownfates, founded by The Coalition of Crowns. They (just like most others, even with my tweaks,) have a fair stock of dinosaurs to draw on, and wherever they're from was near mountains and savage deserts as they have a number of creatures from SVE only found in the mountains and caverns and plants only found in the aforementioned savage deserts. They also aren't exactly winners when it comes to thier cultural values. It's like RNG set these people up for failure as a culture.
Also found a typo to fix for SVE, so that's great.
Still, while I lack access to steel and primordium directly, things should go well if the mineral resources aren't junk. Maybe. Hopefully.
EDIT: Excellent mineral weath so far, with ample magnetite and hematite readily available along with bog iron and native copper.
