Picking a starting region to build your dwarf Template:L is a delicate work. Take a look at the list below and consider what you might need in your fort.

Template:L/Template:L

Pros: Provides an easy way to delete items and drain liquid. May also contain cave spiders.

Cons: Often contains monsters, and sometimes the dreaded Template:L.

Template:L

Pros: An infinite source of water. Discovering this lets you grow Template:L on subterranean mud, and also provides a decent fishing location. May contain cave spiders.

Cons: Discovered early enough, it will usually contain monsters. As with all infinite water sources, one mistake could end up permanently flooding half your fortress.

Template:L

Pros: Discovering this lets you grow tower-caps on subterranean mud, and also provides a decent fishing location. May contain cave spiders.

Cons: Will always have monsters. As with all large bodies of water, one mistake could end up temporarily flooding half your fort.

Template:L pipe/pool

Pros: A magma pipe is an infinite source of magma, which can be used to perform most metalsmithing operations without the use of coal. Magma pools are not an infinite source, but still contain magma.

Cons: Magma pipes and pools are home to deadly Template:L, Template:L, Template:L, and lava is an extremely dangerous substance. Flooding your fort with magma is the last thing you want to do.

Template:L and Template:L

Pros: Adamantine is the best material in the game.
