I was playing around with world generation (attached) because I wanted a nice site with a convenient volcano to get metalworking up and running.  (I was tired of taking forever to build a magma piston spanning 100+ z-levels.)  After checking out several potential embark sites that contained volcanoes, I found a quite amazing place! 

I felt I needed to share this site for others to play because of its interesting potential.  I'm curious what others can do to develop this land.  Please do so and post your fortresses!    A link to the save game is available below.

Aside from the volcano, there are a few interesting features.  There are two nice-sized mountain peaks / spires on the map near the volcano, and there is an above-ground cave entrance leading to a cavern.  This embark site contains a river source and many minerals, including metals.  Everything needed for a full-featured fortress is there!  Even the wind power is at max! 

The map has amazing potential, and I wanted to share my worldgen parameters as well as a savegame.  Also, I've posted my map of the site on the DF Map Archive.
