Downloaded yesterday and tried to open the .jar just now. I hope this is the right place:

An unexpected error has occurred. Please copy/paste the stacktrace below in a spoiler in the LNP thread on Dwarf Fortress' forums.

I've been messing around with advanced world gen for a while now trying to get my stupid perfect embark.

I seem to have trouble getting iron on my maps, and sometimes I'm not getting much in the way of useable metals at all. I set the mineral scarcity pretty low (~600-800), and I set everything I don't care about to maximum or minimum depending (like 0 minimum oceans, swamps, etc). Could that stuff be affecting it? (On another note, I've noticed that lately when I try to get more good and savage biomes in the world to have more to pick from, I get very few evil areas (but not none) as expected, but my worlds also stay in the Age of Myth all the way through to whatever year I stop it (like 900+). They don't even reach the 60% of megabeasts killed mark. Is that related? It's weird.)

I'm trying to get a good+high savagry embark (I want unicorns mainly, and giant vicious aminals, but no preference on biome) with decent trees and vegetations and a river in a canyon or with at least one tall, sheer cliff face (especially if the river makes the cliff a defensible position). Waterfall cool but optional. Bituminous coal/lignite (especially if few trees), iron (+flux), other metals (gold would be nice, happy with copper/silver), and magma higher up than the magma sea would be cool.

This morning a giant cave spider shredded three of my dwarves all skilled in hunting, sustaining only a mild injury to its third leg as it bypassed my cage traps and headed toward my main fort.

Then my master fisherdwarf (had some small skill in being an axedwarf, but carried no axe and had no other notable combat skills) came strolling down the hallway (ignoring like 20 webs), punched it in a couple of its legs, punched it in the gut and then punched it in the head, killing it. He took that mother down in less than half a page without the spider having the time to respond in any way whatsoever.

I don't breed especially epic dwarfs I think, but this fight was all of my wut.

Last week I got really high and came up with this:

(It's on my other computer, so I'll come back and replace that with a better screenshot later.)

I think it can be expanded outward while keeping to the same design well enough, though I haven't tried. I prefer to just make a few z-levels of these. At 40 bedrooms per floor, I don't think I'll ever play a fort without getting bored long enough to even need more than one and a half of these (with married dwarves and whatnot). Dunno yet what to do with the empty spaces in this design (in the corners and around the center stairwell).
