Oh about the snow desert.

It had sand and was hot and had snow.

Well in that case, no, it doesn't make sense.

I recently genned a world & found this:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You can't tell from these, but the Major River has Tigerfish, Alligators, & Hippos, whilst the Northern Stream has Alligators & Hippos.

The Northern Stream is also a 7z waterfall, whilst the Southern only falls 1z, but is in a canyon ranging in depth from 6 to 4, The main Canyon is mostly a 7z drop.

I've embarked on it (obviously), but haven't actually started it yet. (My plans for this one may be a little to challenging for my current level of skill, & I have some other interesting embarks to play with, mostly provided by others).

That is awesome. I would love to build a fort over the river, similar to Mountainbanners.

I tried your params JAFANZ but in Genesis which i guess is why it turned out slightly different, but anyway behold my mighty river!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

overall the map looks very similar but no sign of your particular meandering river, but still good params for giant rivers, i do believe that's a 6x6? I forget i generally put up with the slowdown of large forts, for a while or until a new release, I shall see how I fare with this one. Again Cheers for the interesting params I shall have to twiddle myself sometime to get some interesting effects.

[JAFANZ]

A few hours ago I discovered that my modifications of dwarven civ ethics & naming conventions could have an effect on geography, but I just regenned the world from the params in the other post in a near vanilla version 0.31.12 (I appear to have missed something), & the exported world map was nearly identical to the previous version (a couple of extra roads afaict), & at the location of the embark I found a site I am unable to differentiate from the one originally posted.

However the only modifications I normally make are to enable all "symbol" sets, eating of sapients, & trophies of sapients, for the dwarf civs, & to lower the sharpness of Obsidian to 9999 so that it shows in my economic stones menu until I have enabled it for use, & reset the sharpness.

[MelloHero]

My latest embark is on the hillside of a massive, distant volcano by the sea. There is a massive, steep depression in a roughly round form, from my embark point down a whopping 34 Z-levels to the solid rhyolite beach (actually a cliff one level above the water, so no waves), nothing but the glassy-smooth ocean beyond. Just north, the steepness continues in the opposite direction into a tall spire. Currently I've dug a hobbit hole to house the colonial party until the fort proper begins to be constructed.

EDIT: Here it is. Ideas, anyone? As I'm newly single, I'll have plenty of time for megaprojects.

That's really nice, well i'd go for some giant statues of dwarves either side and then make a huge entrance hallway a few z high lined with magma and water chutes, but that's just me, really like those cliffs quite something, did you do any specific parameters or just rolled one randomly?

[MelloHero]

Did you do any specific parameters or just rolled one randomly?

Random roll. I could post the info up too, if you like.

[Thoth]

Random roll. I could post the info up too, if you like.

That would be grand if you would, also have you done any raw editing or modded it at all or just plain 31.12 vanilla?

[MelloHero]

Vanilla.

Awesome. Got a pic of where the embark site of that cliff is?

There is a massive, steep depression in a roughly round form, from my embark point down a whopping 34 Z-levels to the solid rhyolite beach (actually a cliff one level above the water, so no waves), nothing but the glassy-smooth ocean beyond. Just north, the steepness continues in the opposite direction into a tall spire. Currently I've dug a hobbit hole to house the colonial party until the fort proper begins to be constructed.

Carve the dwarven Mt. Rushmore into that cliff.
