Yeah, I pointed that out originally. You'll need Embark Anywhere to embark on it.

As i said before, some days of sifting maps lead to more nanoislands.

Now its two-square:

That's possible ONLY without magma.

But who wants hermitage without magma?..

Really? I've never heard of anything quite like that. Map / video?

Be sure it's a desert and has 1-few palm/coconut trees.

Oh, and bring your top 3 stuff with you as well.

Here's my top 3.

Rum, Booze, and Beer.

Or at least:
Cat (♂), Cat (♀), and a Brewable crop.

I could last for ages, provided the trees regrow at a steady rate. Or at least driftwood comes at a steady rate.

Nah, you'd eventually have a dwarf who likes cats and would adopt so many that you wouldn't be able to butcher em. :P

"The Forest of Dots"?  What a fitting name in a world full of tiny islands like that.  :P

I'm talking about the bronze colossus. It's supposed to be made entirely of bronze.
But really he's just a softie inside. They all are really. When megabeasts come to your fort you never welcome them inside and give them a hug, do you. You heartless bastards...

What are the chances of an archipelago forming?

Aside from a world made of one.

Chances for generating archipelago with size 8*8-5*5 is about 1 per ~20'000.

Calculated from all the result maps. (about 30 maps with 257*257 size)

By DF standards, sounds good enough to me.

Again. Full confirmation to what i said before:

Changing soil/mineral layers makes all seeds to change at all - i can't generate maps again.
All options the save including volcanism and other, but... the map differs.
