Hey there, I'm loving your tutorials so far but I'm actually running into difficulities.
It's not your fault at all, it's mine. I'm just having trouble actually finding a decent site for my fortress.

Could anyone give me any tips on finding a really good site?

[PMantix]

What problems are you having finding a site?

The first tutorial did a pretty good job at finding my first fortress location. Check it out if you haven't already.

[AvatarJTC]

Remember, on most maps you won't find a site with everything you want.  Heck, finding flux and a magma pipe (a reasonable amount) is somewhat rare.  Then trying to find Magma, Flux, Elevation, trees, an above/underground river, a chasm/bottomless pit, sand (which IMO, is necessary), unhaunted, no damn unicorns, a side covered by the ocean, easily covered areas, etc is close to impossible. 
  I usually go for a nonevil place that will have animals, sand, a good amount of trees, flux, and a river, though I guess a brook would do fine I prefer a good Ol' river for defense.  If I can find it, I like to also have a magma pipe which then I can have a few less trees, an underground river instead of a river/brook which then I can do with even LESS trees, and if I am completely, insanely lucky, a chasm or bottomless pit!!
  Now if I'm messing around, the best place I found was the one freezing Haunted/serene (or some other evil/good status) tundra, completely half and half.  So I had skeletal dudes raging the unicorns and crazy death followed.  Good times, good times.
 
Now what you could do is mess with your INI so it shows on the map the magma and underground stuff (like our good captain duck)  and then keep making maps till you find what you like.  But again, some animals, flux, sand, a river, and some trees will do you fine.  I'm still annoyed that my perfectly good biome has NO wild animals.

[AvatarJTC]

Which now that I think of it brings another question, if my biome has no animals, how come the first laison to come to my fortress ended up outside with most of his bodyparts missing (and nowhere to be found).  Could he have come in like that?

[captain_duck]

Update with requests today:

Part 36: In this episode some requests; siege weapons, disarming enemies and since i had some time left i threw in another arena battle as well.

Dwarf Fortress Video Tutorial part 36 - Siege Weapons, Disarming enemies & Arena: Youtube HD

So close to the ending now. You probably saw my preparations to cave-in the chamber. Also my marksdwarves have killed a lot of demons already because i turned the outer wall of the chamber into fortifications and let my marksdwarves patrol outside of them.
