I'm not picky, except I'd like some farmable soil on the surface.  I'm good to have a spot on the aquifer, but I realized I'd like a few (5 or fewer is fine) pieces of bauxite as well as what I asked for up above.

[Shoruke]

I really do need a screenshot of the fortress before I can choose what part of the map I like. Or an uploaded map on the DF map archive. Or something like that.

[Glacies]

I just need a layer of soil, and five bits of stone when someone feels generous. When we start, have me mine out a 4x4 plot for pig tails, a 4x4 plot for strawberries/sunberries above that, and a weaver, farmers workshop, clothier and loom. I'll also trade someone some strawberries for a bed and glass blocks later on.

I assume we divy up the migrants equally? And if we get an odd number, the rounded off ones stay in the trading depot until the number of dwarves is divisible by six again.

Hey, is the glass mod being used for this or are we going vanilla?  I'm assuming the latter, but it was just a thought.

[Boksi]

I'll be using one surprise mod* but it's not the glass mod.

I've already embarked and everything, I just need to gather all the information and write it up. We'll see what I'll be able to put up today.

All I require is soil to grow my plants to turn into some rotgut.

[DFNewb]

all I want is some soil and close to a river or a pond.

There's a slight problem...

I can't export the map. DF exports the current window instead of the map when I push e to export the local map. I get the export local image menu on every single z-level map instead of, you know, the actual map. In fact I get a 3 by 3 grid of the export local image menu.

So you'll just have to pick a vague descriptor and I'll use screenshots...

Also, skeletal fire imps are bad. And the only soil is in the evil region. The mountain offers an aquifer-free area full of stone that isn't quite as hostile, but the evil forest offers sand and wood.

I've got everybody's location requests except shoruke's. Sorry, I can't really screenshot the entire area.

[LegoLord]

I want that  evil soil.  My title demands it.

Are you using that DF optimizer patch?  It does that - uninstall it and the map should export, then you can reinstall it again.

[Boksi]

It worked!

Take a gander and pick your spots :3

First come first serve, and remember to pick a five by five spot that does not intersect any other spot or the trade depot. I recommend against going to close to the magma vent. Skeletal fire imps lurk thereabouts.

I have a question is the wall surrounding the 5X5 area?
here is my spot if that is the case:

[Boksi]

You can build a wall around that if you want. Just tell me, what do you want to build there?

[DFNewb]

Here is my new one

I want the Green line to be the wall that surrounds my area.

[LegoLord]

Okay, here is my decision.  I would like a wall around it initially.  We are going to be able to expand outwards from the surface eventually, right?  If we do, I've marked the picture with plans for that.  They're small plans, though.
