[Errol]

Sooo... just embarked on a spot with 134 z-levels, magma, sand, and some water.

What should I do?

[Eviltyphoon]

First of all, post the world seeds and the exact location, so we can go there too
Second, build a HUGE green glass tower to honor armok.

[TheToeBighter98]

Make a underwater city, if you have a river.

If not, just have it be a underground city. Include a specialized building for suicidal drops.

[Errol]

No river, sorry. Just an underground pool and some outside pool that already dried up due to warm climate. No HFS if I recall correctly. Normal savagery/evilness. Size is 4x5, so nothing for too weak computers. Also, hoary marmots.

I'm playing with orc mod, so the seed could be slightly off. I don't know the mechanics... but I'll try and post the seed. If someone tells me how to get it, o'course.

[Nitrousoxide]

The underground pool means that there is an underground biome.  You can build your own underground river by diverting the stream underground near its source

[Untelligent]

Lucky you. My fortress only has 110 z-levels and no features aside from a handful of pools, HFS, and a mountain that looks like a fat guy flipping me the bird when I look at it in 3Dwarf.

[LegoLord]

The orc mod only adds creatures and civs, so there should be no change in the site.  Only changes to the stone, soil and gem matglosses alter site composition, and even then only changing the layer type.

[Gunner-Chan]

Wait, wait... 134 Z-levels?

134 FUCKING Z-LEVELS?!

How the hell did that happen?!

[Scope]

Someone take his map... dig down rougly 50z-levels, then mine out the entire underground. leave supports to prevent cave-ins. begin making your underground city. create roads, houses, apartments, a little castle for nobels, workshop houses. it would be a huge underground civilation cut offf from the world.

when you find that underground pool, designate an area to be flooded (without flooding your city) and create an underground Tower-cap farm.

next, at the entrance to all the stairs going down. filter magma to create a magma moat around a huge tower (to Armok) and include the stairway down in this.

Bring your plump helmets, cause your gonna need em'.

[Errol]

Extreme cliffs directly near a normal valley.

I'll see whether I can upload any save of the map, as I don't appear to have taken the seed.

Alright guys... here it goes. As a save, it will probably require the orc mod. Also, you're perhaps already in first summer. The actions I did are hopefully not too grave.
//e: Scratch that, found the log & the seeds:

*** STARTING NEW GAME ***
Generating world using parameter set MEDIUM
 Seed: 547055650
 History Seed: 1102953881
 Name Seed: 1603944894

In the west, there will be some valley enclosed by STEEP cliffs. Many nice spots. Also, if the engine isn't lying, the right part isn't isolated from the rest of the world.

I can't wait to see what insane things are possible on that map.

[Nesoo]

Screenshot of embark location?

[Hagadorn]

This isn't his Embark location, but there is an awesome little volcano down in the ocean along the bottom line.


its pretty spiff.

[Shad0wyone]

134 Z-levels, all the possibilities... I need the embark location NOW!!!

[Ampersand]

Found a spot that goes from Negative 15 to positive 40, with a River and a Magma pipe, and HFS.
