World Creation Query
« on: September 24, 2019, 08:27:20 am »

So, I was re-re-re....reading Boatmurdered last night and the bug for some DF bit me again.  Downloaded the game, set up my world gen with a custom setup I like and it will render away 500 years while I'm out working today. 

I want to find an embark site with a specific topography and needed some insight as to what to look for while browsing around.  I hope someone can help.

I want an elevated area...but I want mountain PEAKS with valleys between then.  High enough that I can make elevated roads between the peaks. 

My issue seems to be I just am not sure what landmarks to look for.  I did a couple of quick world gens this morning to browse.  I looked at the elevation map and found areas with 0-3 and then points with 5-6, but those didn't work there were actually NO super elevated peaks poking up anywhere. 

So, thanks in advance for any guidance.

That's...not actually quite trivial. I've seen three isolated peaks before in one of vjek's worldgens (you can search in one of the previous worldgen threads; the geography might still work in current version), but quickest way to get it would be to use region manipulator dfhack script.
