OK.

I've generated a Legendary Lands world.  And boy it's awesome.  Volcanoes everywhere.  Volcanoes on islands.  Volcanoes on GLACIERS.  Terrifying mountain ranges.  Cold stuff and hot stuff.

And then I found the best in the west: mountainous region, embarkable, with a magma pipe and sand.  The site is beautiful.  A steep mountain surrounding the pipe, with a few spare trees down below.



Do I build an aboveground fort right over the pipe?
Do I fashion a bowl around the pipe?
Do I extend the pipe and use it as a dropzone?
Do I capture fire imps and lock them into pillboxes?
What the hell do I do?!

 Bowl Fortress.
 Every dwarf shall have a home overlooking the bowl and the miracle magma pipe in the center.

The save or the worldgen params?

Both.

Actually I'd better not put up the gen params because I don't think it can be reliably re-created.  Basically it happened after 9 attempts, after which I told the genner to shut up about there being too many subregions.  Buddy of mine tried genning the same world and was not successful.

Not to mention the gen took 5 hours.

So, here it is.  An embark has already been prepared, so loading the game will set you right at the site.  Otherwise, from the center of the world, go due north to the edge of the map minus one, then look for two volcanic regions next to one another in diagonal.  Choose the one in the northwest.

Remember: you need Legendary Lands mod!

Whoa. That's an... absurdly large map.
Are all large maps that large? I'm not sure mine are quite that size. Or maybe I'm just a bit intimidated by seeing it all at once.

Anyway, make sure the raw, untouched (as much as you can) version is backed up, and you can do whatever you want with it.
...Of course, all things considered, you appear to have already done that... but still.

OMG

Build in the pipe.

The largest world one can possibly generate is 257x257.  I don't know if this is the default for "Gen a world now!"  But anyway, with this, this means you could play a maximum of 66,049 forts before reclaiming (assuming every subregion is embarkable.)

This is why I feel bad about genning new worlds, because my forts invariably ruin any hope of having a normal fort, on account of ruining the world by killing diplomats, liasons, and historical figures.

Actually, in my experience you can embark multiple times in a single local square as long as they do not overlap.

Looks like an adventurer's paradise.

Just look at all that land. Quests ahoy!

[carebear]

That's one epic map. Is it the largest possible (257x257 as you said)?
