Hello everyone, I'm new to the Dwarf Fortress forums, but less so to dwarf fortress itself, and I was hoping you all could help me with something. I've always wanted to embark onto a tiny island, so small in fact that I can have the entire island within my embark range, so that there is no part I can't explore. I've never been able to figure out how to use parameters to make the island small enough, as even a pocket island is to big to embark on entirely. Can anyone help me figure out what parameters I need to set to make this teeny tiny island? Also, is there by chance a way to embark with more than 7 dwarves? I was hoping to start with a full 10, being that I would never see an immigrant that could swim the entire ocean.

If this has been brought up before could you please point me to the correct thread?

Thanks!

Thanks a lot, I've been wanting to do this for such a long time.

Have fun with the aquifers.

Scroll down in the second thread. Someone found a smaller one with a brook in the middle and no aquifers.

I feel like a moron - that second thread's they're both for 40d.

Yes, but this also solves his second query if he were to use those, as there are hacks for the number of starting dwarves in 40d!

I was wondering why it was for an older version. Does this mean there are no current tiny island maps? The code he posted did not do the trick unfortunatly.
