DM is bugged, so I'm not sure I'm willing to wait for him until he starts showing up more often. Pity, though, since he was my favourite noble by far.

Well you could probably mod him too, but I don't frequent the modding section, so I don't know what you'd need to change.

Embark #5

A 4x4 embark this time. Don't remember exactly which tile has the upright spoiler, but I think it was one of the center tiles. Expanding the embark north would probably net even more epic cliffs, giving you more room to expand into the side of the mountain.

I guess you need a 4x4 for the adamantite? I dont like to embark on any bigger than 3x3 and my embark doesnt have any Shame because its a really cool embark aside from that.

I don't think you need the 4x4 for the spoiler. I think it's in one of the central squares on the embark. You could probably drop the top and right rows on the embark and get all the important features, including the spoiler, but I'm not positive. Check with a throwaway embark, I'd suggest.

As for why I chose the 4x4 was because it was for a Succession Game and although I prefer 3x3 most of the other guys play on 4x4. So I went with 4x4 in that particular case.

From what I'm told even if you mod him in he actually does not do his job and doesn't allow the exotic animals to be tamed. Really the only solution at the moment is to replace all of the [pet_exotic] tags with regular [pet] tags.

Yeah I have the spoiler in the embark - but I meant actual adamantine veins - couldnt find any in my 3x3 square using reveal

[JAFANZ]

Kendo, verify with prospector, it won't tell you where it is, but at least you'll know if it is, & how much.

[kendo]

Ah I hadnt noticed that prospecting tool before.

Yeah that site has no adamantine, but just down the river a few squares theres a site with 2 veins of that special metal, but no spoiler unfortunately. I'm not fussed particularly

about the underground fort not being present

so its pretty perfect for me.

Interesting world thanks

Oh, the veins? I have no idea. Given that it was a site I was planning on playing with I refused to use reveal.

Posting to follow.
I need to get some rivercanyon in hills map.

Is it possible to get flat volcanoes? I don't really want a volcano, I just want magma without the pump stack...

[Shrugging Khan]

You can play around with perfectworldDF until you get Volcanoes right next to sandy desert tiles with flux.

Oh boy. I embarked on one of those just now! And the only trouble is that I forgot to bring weapons...GIANT SKELETAL EAGLE! ARGH!

IIRC there's at least one mentioned on the 1st page of the thread, also the embark Ledi recommends on the 1st or 2nd page has a volcano that only extends 5 levels above the arrival level (again, IIRC).

And then you're not going to share?

Here's a flat volcano, on a glacier:

Currently I'm looking for a world with seaside Cliffs of Awesome.  Specifically what I need are some seaside cliffs of 5z or higher (the higher the better ) AND a river/stream (doesn't matter) emptying into the ocean.  A massive waterfall on the ocean is what I'd really prefer, but a canyon in addition to cliffs is almost equally cool.  The longer these high cliffs stretch along the coast, the better.  Cool mineral/ore deposits and a volcano are not a requirement (I've learned the error of being too specific) but would be totally freakin' sweet.
