40d:Region
Dwarf Fortress allows you to build a fortress in a variety of different regions, with advantages and disadvantages for fort-building. Different regions may have different creatures and different features, depending on how forested or mountainous the region is, climate, presence of a river, and good/evil alignment.
A rough list of region types follows. This list should be considered incomplete and should be added to whenever you discover a new region type. The threat matrix from the old wiki is deprecated and should be replaced from new Surroundings data.
