Title: [50.08] How do I make sure there's a hill on the embark?
Post by: NewMiner on June 06, 2023, 08:12:09 am

Sorry for the noob question, i've played classic DF for a little bit and there you had the elevation map by pressing tab but I can't find it's equivalent on steam edition's DF. Is it "show elevation" or "show cliffs/grade"? Because the world seems to be all flat in both of these option. What's the difference between them?

"show cliffs/grade" shows inclination of a tile. The more it "/" the bigger inclination is. The more it "-" the flatter surface is.
