How do you feel about using Regional Prospector to find a suiltable location that has magma?

EDIT: And Sunday should be ok

I'd rather not use any external tools at all, myself... Obviously I can't tell you not to; I couldn't find for sure, and I wouldn't want to try to. But I didn't use one.

Sunday will be fine. I've selected a site, and with any luck tomorrow I'll start posting my journal entries.

[Scorpios]

Awww, too late.

Best of luck to you all. Here's to hoping e-mail proves a better medium for succession games than the forums do.

8th Granite, 1051, early spring. Phantom's Journal, entry #1

Today when I woke up, I saw that our caravan had already stopped, and most of our goods were gone. "Hey, Meng, what happened to all that cheese we brought up?" Meng, our carpenter came, and told me what happened during my sleep. Apparently our mason Sigun likes really much cheese, and he eats a lot. You can quess the rest.
After that conflict, I decided to take a look outside... And I don't know how we managed to get up here:
   

I don't know what I'll be able to do with these guys, seems that they all are crazylike.

And that concludes my journal today.

((EDIT: Carp, I didn't see that "no easy regions" part... There's only three hoary marmots on map. Feel free to decrease my points.))

1st Granite (early spring), 1051
We have begun construction of a new home in the mountains today.  There is a brook nearby, but we'll need to carve stairs out of the cliff face to reach it.  The mountain sparkles with glimmers of gems and metal ores already exposed on the surface, along with many clusters of bituminous coal!

For some reason, the King instructed us to bring 50 strange rocks along with us, with orders to protect it to the last dwarf standing.  No idea what it's for, but it's quite strange stuff - pitchblende, they called it.

Well, enough journaling, we have a fortress to build!

---------------
(VERY IMPORTANT!) Never touch the pitchblende!  I will be putting it by itself in a dump hole until the fortress is ready to use it.  Whoever I send it to may go ahead and work on a shaft for the missile silo though (should have at least a 10x10 opening).

Ooh, you've begun already?
Then I know, what I'll do this afternoon!  

Blacken, I really thought, that you waited for like 30 players to sign up or something. But 8 is also OK.

My fortress will probably in an easy region, meaning flat, with lots of wood, a brook and flux. I know: boring. But that's how most of my starting spots look like.

[Blacken]

With thirty players, we wouldn't get our original fortresses back for seven and a half months. This way we'll hit our own fortresses once every two months.

EDIT: Easy regions are cool too! Just remember to stay out of the "Good" areas (Serene, Mirthful, Joyous Wilds, Calm).

Oh, great. Thanks a lot. Btw, submitted my map to DFMA. Visit my fortress here.
Gonna post final journal entry for this fort soon.

[Stravitch]

Bah, wish I had got in on this, let me know if someone drops out :-P

[Vugor]

this looks awesome

if i was more experienced i would try......ooo well

*runs back to current fortress*

[Linthar]

I'm starting to suspect that the area I choose has no iron. I choose an area with a volcano and the only metal I've found is copper, putting a bit of a damper on interesting metal crafting. If there are no objections I'm going to start over in an area that will be more interesting in the long run.

[TotalPigeon]

No objections here, I've haven't found an interesting location yet either. Just make sure you're done by sunday

[Artheon]

Final versions of all eight fortresses gonna go public at the end?  I foresee this being veery interesting ^^

[Pickerel]

While I was not able to get in on this game, I find it intriguing!  You all have my full complements (Spelling?) and I will be watching the forts with interest!

But...

I don't think "The fortress is subjected to a severe flood of water or magma, rendering the majority of it uninhabitable" is a reason to consider a fortress unplayable... Fortresses can be rebuilt, or drained if conditions are right...

Think New Orleans.
