Island for you!
« on: July 23, 2009, 06:46:46 pm »
Edit:  Thanks Untelligent for how to add embark screenie.

I've been generating maps for days trying to find a map that has an island small enough to fit into one embark screen.  I've found one and I want to share.  I'm heavily custom modded so I hope this works for ya'll.

To use a screenshot:

1) Take the screenshot by pressing alt-printscreen, paste it into GIMP or Photoshop (or MS Paint if you don't have either, but it doesn't preserve quality as well so it'll probably look fuzzy) and save it as a .png file.

2) Upload it to Tinypic or Photobucket (google it or type a name in the address bar). Tinypic is faster, but Photobucket is better for long-term storage. Imageshack is also similar to Photobucket, but I don't like it much.

3) Copy/paste the IMG link into the message entry box here. Put it in spoiler tags if its large.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

Yay, thanks :D
Shame it doesn't have anything of "interest", but it's hard like hell to find an island :(

Thanks a lot!!!

Nice find!

Surviving might be little hard, but dwarves will die with style.

I wonder if it's possible to gen a world to find an entire island you can fit into a 6x6 embark area?

IIRC this is the third island l've ever found and the smallest so far.  It can be squeezed down to 7x11.  I don't know how the wave action may affect slower computers but there's almost no native wildlife and you'll have to grow your dwarf population the old fashioned way since there won't be immigrants.  You should be FPS safe for long a while.

Sounds pretty awesome; does anyone know of any mods that allow an an aquatic civilization or something like that to siege? I normally don't mod other than orcs but if I was able to create some kind of mer people who could siege an island fortress that would be pretty intense.

Swimming and flying civs are broken for now, I'm afraid- that'd be a nice feature to have in the future, and it's on the to do list I think.

Does that piece of land at the bottom connect off the map, or is it cut off with water in the embark screen?

Do you even get sieges when on such an island?
It would make the game a whole lot easier (maybe even to easy), although the idea of massive inbreeding is wierd

Dwarves will quite happily marry their cousins, so shouldn't be too troublesome.

A quick scan of the stocks menu shows that one of the dead pack animals has a bin full of silk cloth!  It is speedily unforbidden, and my moody glassmaker sprints off to retrieve his prize amongst the smoking, charred, blood-soaked ruin that is the outdoors, totally oblivious to the carnage that was instigated on his behalf.

It even has a brook running straight through it. I'm curious as to how that actually works...

The area in the region view doesn't look like an ocean - is that a lake (and a damn huge one at that)?

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

Yeah, large freshwater lake. Even in an isolated valley. Just above you got a haunted forest in another valley, and you share with with goblins.

And that island doesn't have any aquifers?! This is a dream, and I don't want to wake up. Complete isolation without having to genocide the dwarvekind, and accessible water, and stones!
