Just curious where everyone likes to embark most.

I prefer cold or freezing biomes. Glaciers because I can actually smooth/engrave the entire surface of the glacier. I just like the idea of building a gigantic fortress in a desolate, frozen wasteland. Make it a terrifying glacier and its even more FUN.

[Patchy]

Glaciers as well, though I like to be close enough to the arctic oceans to get some walrus pets.

[Jim Groovester]

Taigas with aquifers. So I can do fun stuff with water and ice.

...Are frozen biomes going to be a favorite amongst DF players?

[Shaostoul]

When I'm playing not for a specific megaconstruction, it's normally deserts or something of the like.... A large flat area with a lot of space to play around.

That or sheer cliffs. I have a 100 zlevel sheer cliff with 180+ zlevels below the "ground level" It's something like 300 something zlevels in total.

Forest for me; i need the wood and temperate climate

[culwin]

Mountain because uh... they're dwarfs.
It's got to be a split biome, though, because I need trees.
Mountain/forest is good.

[Internet Kraken]

Tropical oceans. I always build my forts over them, and they provide me with everything I need. Wood, fish, shells, sand, stone etc.

[Zaerosz]

Deserts. My main exports are clear glass goblets studded with all sorts of wonderful things.

[Emily]

Swamps.  Because... swamps!

...some amount of hills preferred because completely flat terrain is a bit boring.

[Nil Eyeglazed]

Anywhere, so long as its terrifying.

Which usually ends up being focused on glaciers, these days.

[Il Palazzo]

Anywhere that's got glumprongs and werewolves. Which probably narrows it down to evil-temperate forests.

[antymattar]

ocean. Underwatter base good

[Lokii]

Anywhere that's got glumprongs and werewolves grimelings. Which probably narrows it down to evil-temperate forests swarmps.

Changed to suit my needs.

[Heavenfall]

I like forests the best... but the more I think about it, ti's only because I'm a lazy sob that doesn't want to bother with 2000 floors of magma pumps.
If I can find a volcano I'll go anywhere.

[Patchouli]

Taiga.

I like the photos. They look like they smell fresh.

Also, whenever I put my dwarves in a warm place, I feel like they're always sweating, reeking and being gross everywhere.
