A region is an area of the world that you may select when choosing a location for your fort. Each region is made up of several biomes affecting available flora and fauna. A region also has a climate, and may be in the presence of good or evil civilizations.
Choosing a Region
When starting a new fortress, the game allows you to choose almost any regions on the world map. Different regions have different creatures, trees, or no trees, (depending on how mountainous the region is), different climates, maybe a source of water, and either good or evil alignment.
A rough list of region types follows. The combination of these factors help make each game unique.
