I say look for a volcano with shallow metals.

[Thief^]

Never tried. Why 3x7?

There might be some good biomes, we can get the volcano splat in the middle, 3.5 (local) tiles are good range for ballistae, and it's just fun 

It's all one biome, except the ocean.

oh.
well 4x9 is too big 

also of note: the aquifer will (probably?) be salty, just sayin'

[Thief^]

hmm, 8x5 would get us volcano and a tiny bit of ocean if I'm reading that right. I take it the swamp is to the north?

Either way, Volcano is a wonderful idea. Very dwarfy, gives you access to things like magma smelters and such.

9x5, and yeah, on the next region tile.
I think 9x5 is too big...

[Thief^]

You have selected an area with salt water.
It might be very difficult to survive here.

You have selected an area with an aquifier.
It might be very difficult to obtain stone here.

Just finalizing embark (exactly where I screenshotted earlier), then doing all the equipment and skills and then the storytelling can begin!

EDIT: Just realized I only chose one gauntlet

[TolyK]

lol, i do that too 
so i'm 5 at both siege skills? nice.

[Thief^]

Yeah, just figuring out which dwarf should be who and spending the 209 spare embark points.

EDIT: Fortress has been named "Mistmatched", Sôddalzat. Dwarvish doesn't seem to have the word "miss".
EDIT2: Group is "The Whiskered Steel", Rikkirdeler.

EDIT2: Group is "The Whiskered Steel", Rikkirdeler. Good thing we didn't bring any steel wire aboard!

>Strike the earth (duh )
Gather some plants.
Get a map of the place.

It's quite steep!

[TolyK]

looking good
...
now, some rooms, then a (dry) moat (will be magmified later), then make an ingenious entrance (designed by yours truly)

[Thief^]

First, I finish work. Then I do some writing. Then I choose where to put the entrance. Then that stuff.

[Haika]

well it is a volcano after all. I'd say put the entrance right where the wagon is now. one of the bigger flat spots there for pasture. start taking away some ramps nearby and tunneling inward. If there's soil there, you might even consider channeling down the next level up, to increase the outside grass. I'm not used to playing vanilla DF with no graphic set, so hard to tell what material that wall is.

[Taricus]

I say move closer to the volcano.
