Brag about your little world here. To get a thumbnail of your world follow these steps.

1. Locate a map of your world in the folder that DF is in, you'll notice its a little bit big.

2. Save it as a new file somewhere (NOT IN THE DF FOLDER)

3. Open the NEW FILE in bitmap, and goto the dropdown menu Images then Stretch/Screw

4. In the 1st box type 12, in the 2nd box type 8.
[Edit]
This is assuming that each square is 8pixels by 12pixels.

5. Increase the size of the image so it can be seen easily using stretch/Skew. (Only use 100 increments and only do this once, if it dousn't come out right the 1st try undo the edit and try again)

5. Save the file (DO NOT SAVE IN JPEG OR ANY OF ITS VARIANTS!)

6. Upload the image using a free image-uploader such as TinyPic.com

7. Use the forum-code to show of your world.

[EDIT]

I realised these world can be a little hard to see so after you shrink it so go back to stretch/Skew and type in 200 in both boxes for large worlds like mine or 400 for smell ones. Try to get it as big as mine, but only go in 100% increments and only once.

My world in question is as follows



My favorite part is the see ontop of a moutain. How on earth did THAT happen?!?!

It looks like a satellite image.  I want to do one!



There are two black bars through it, what's with that?

They are the beams that lead to the Dark Tower.

Nice. Obscure, but nice.

Rather small world, high temperature, low rain.



Its hard to see since the entire south desert is technicolor but there's a small good ocean in the middle of it.  At the same time there's a large island in the central sea populated with some humans.  And despite the rain and drainage levels a massive evil marsh showed up in the northwest with again, a small island of good in the middle.

The only rivers are off by the mountain to the northeast.  But because of that central ocean being in the way the rivers go there instead of spreading across the map, making the northeast side of the map the only source of clean freshwater.

P.S. Downside however is since the only mountain in the world is good, there are no dwarves or goblins.

I've got two fortresses going right now, on the newer one it's a dry map and there's a lava tube on the lower plains which had a bunch of dry grass covering its entire expanse.  Some skeletal horses moved too close to the tube, and a fire imp let some fireballs fly.

There was a gigantic firestorm that covered that entire lower plain, leaving it now to be just a charred wasteland.  So now the map pretty much looks like fire and brimstone.

Luckily fire can't climb Z-levels, which I both felt was lame and good at the same time, as I didn't want my dwarves up on the mountain to achieve a crispy outer coating.

My FPS went down like 60 points during the firestorm.  Good times.
