Hello ! This embark looks pretty nice, I love the mountains and hills !

I tried to enter the seed and all the other parameters but when I generate the world I end up with a different one.
I suspect it's because of this line "[ELEVATION_FREQUENCY:4:2:3:1:1:3]", when I put the first number, the "4", the game is indicating "8x8" so I'm not sure it's right....
Or can it be because I use the meph launcher ? (the one with just the tileset, and eerything else is set to vanilla so I don't think that it)

Or is there another way to use the seed ?

Copy the worldseed file from the first post.
Open .../data/init/world_gen.txt in a text editor and paste the worldgen information at the end of the file.  Save.
Run Dwarf Fortress and select 'Design New World with Advanced Parameters'
When it loads use the down arrow or 2 to go to the VOLCANO LAND entry on the right.
Hit enter.

Success?

Yes ! Thank you very much, I had to dowload a new launcher because the Meph launcher was rejecting the world with the parameters I don't know why...
But I am now on the map and it's really amazing !

Glad you like it, I was happy when I found it (I've searched dozens and dozens of maps and over a thousand volcanos using these parameters) and will post more if I find any more interesting ones. 

Be warned tho.  I embarked with a pack of wardogs that I pastured with my animals in the eastern plateau, and before my first migrant wave had arrived, something had torn two of my dogs to pieces.  Never did see what it was, I kept an eye on the wild animals in the units screen and only ever saw a flock of ravens.

Ok I have another map with several decent volcanos; one of them is right next to a 20z waterfall that splits off into two directions at the bottom, populated by alligator snapping turtles.  Really crazy fun topography, the waterfall plateau is actually a few z lvls above the magma.   This map is begging for some surface castles.

Will post seed tomorrow.
