Who likes to simply generate worlds and examine them looking for unique places and such, or simply for the heck of it? I know, sounds kinda pathetic, but somehow i sometimes have the urge to simply do that instead of continueing a fort. Its rather addictive.
I mostly like to generate small maps (i think they have two volcanoes, dunno) as i find them to have the best balance and best chance to generate some extreme worlds without having to resort to the bigger maps (my computer sucks btw).
Some interesting worlds i generated includes one wich is devided by a huge (i thing terrifying/haunted) lake right across the map, with on one side goblins and humans and on the other one elves, i also remember that a huge part of one of teh two sides is mirthfull or something similarly good bordering the evil lake.
Another world (medium i think) has 2 huge mainrivers (sadly they don't cross eachother, dunno if that ever even happens) right through some very interesting areas, no problem finding any sort of feared fish there. One of the mainrivers even has a 1 zlevel high waterfall! Would love to find a mainriver with a 5 or above z level waterfall. I simply embarked all over the mainriver, just to check it out and one place was very interesting landshape wise. The mainriver there looked like an almost straight grandcanyon, awesome to built a fort connecting the two sides of the river.
Another world lacked in goblins, another one was extremely fracktured, and not only in mountain features encompassing lakes and such, but also in civilizations.
And many more.
Anyways, ever did just that, generating worlds for fun? (or am i really that sad?) And some interesting results coming from it?
edit: some typos, i'm extremely tired.
