40d:Pregenerated worlds/0.27.176.38c

Quick Seed

Seed: 20
Dimensions: 257x257
Name: Random
OS: Windows XP

Result: A 0-reject world. Two interesting features I've noticed thus far are an island with what appears to be a volcano and freezing terrain and a single square volcano in the middle of an ocean/lake. I'd note mineral distribution, but I'm not quite as interested in Fortress mode as I am in Adventurer mode.

Unsiegeable Mini-Island

Seed: 111121519

Dimensions: 257x257

OS: Vista (might work on other OS)

A mini-island formed by several rivers and a lake (You can't see it on the embark screen, but I assure you, it is there). Completely unsiegeable nine months of the year, while still allowing access to Human/Elf traders. You may have to wall off the edges to stay safe in Winter, but on the plus side the Goblins will fall into the lake in the spring.

Aside from that, there's much interesting here, aside from some sand... Oh, and it has a rock level ON TOP OF the aquifer. I kid you not. Starting on the biome covering the lake makes you end up on the island, I believe.

Oh, and there's a lot of rejects. I can't remember how many, it was at least a hundred, maybe two hundred, but most of them are fast rejects. --Untelligent 22:20, 28 February 2008 (EST)

Smata Xestsu, The Realm of Enchantments

This 3x6 location has almost all features the game has to offer. Here we have magma, a river, a cave river, an underground lake, iron, flux, sand, adamantine, a chasm, and an optional cave. Cliffs range from 1 to 3. The Temperature is Scorching, the Trees are Woodland, Other Vegetation is Moderate, and the Surroundings are either Calm or Sinister. If you want a cave with a minotaur you can expand the area two tiles north to make a 5x6 location. Likewise, if you don't need the underground lake or cave river you can reduce the area by two tiles to the south to make a 2x6 location.

• Seed: 1321093328 with 3 rejects.
• Adamantine: In the top left side.
• Magma: Pipe on the far right on levels 140 to 144 (not seen from surface).

Adelaanenu, The Wondrous Planet

This is a very dangerous site; 2x5 area so it should run well... especially if you kill all the creatures.

This is the smallest I've been able to get a site in the new version while maintaining all the features that I look for: magma, pits, cave river, bauxite, fuel, and iron. The only thing missing that I like to have is sand, but the rest of it makes up for it.

Note that this map is on a TERRIFYING biome, and it has a group of cave creatures living near the chasm in the south that will make short work of your dwarves if you let them. Your dwarves may spawn next to these cave creatures, so this site is not recommended for beginning players.

• Seed: 3988471772 with 67 rejects.
• Adamantine: In the southwest corner.
• Magma pipe: Northwest corner; surface of pool is below ground in elevation 146, and runs to bottom of map.
• Cave river: Surface is slightly to west on elevation 148.
• Chasm: Visible from surface, southeast corner.
• Trees: North portion of map. Can grow tower caps underground once cave river has been uncovered.
• Soil: North portion of map.
• Iron: Large chunks of magnetite in layer 146, and another big chunk below in layer 142, large veins of hematite in several layers.
• Metals: LARGE Platinum vein through magnetite on layer 146 and other small deposits, Copper (Native and Tetrahedrite), Silver (Galena), Gold, Aluminum, Lead (Galena), no Tin, no Bismuth, no Nickel, and no Zinc .
• Flux: Seven layers of chalk in northern part of map.
• Fuel: Elevation 140, west of magma pipe (from very west edge of map to very north edge of map).
• Bauxite: 142 and 145, right and left sides of magma pipe.
• Obsidian: Around magma pipe.
• Neighboring Civs: All.
