Ok, I'll find something with less vertical.  Most people like the extremes, so that's what I was going for, but no problem at all, less extreme is easier!  :D
Thanks.  I totally understand the extreme thing; I just think (especially in this case) it looks fairly ridiculous.  Don't rush since I won't be playing until next weekend at the earliest (why is break already over?), and more likely the weekend after that (*shakes fist at soccer taking away DF time*).

How about this?  Is that kind of what you're looking for, AzeTheGreat?

EDIT: That's 249 max Z level, 149 embark level. (100Z levels of elelvation above ground)
Wow...
I didn't think that was even remotely possible.  Nothing like that at all.  I'm looking for something much more natural looking.  The mountain on the far right is more what I was aiming for, you know, something that could plausibly exist.  The uniformity between those peaks is quite striking however.

I can find all of this in as small as a 3x3.  Do you need the 6x6 for a specific reason, or is smaller ok?
Also, do you want coal/iron-bearing-ore/flux or does that not matter?
The only reason I was looking for a larger embark is for better terrain.  Ideally the areas that are mountainous would have multiple hills.  I assumed that to get the size and number of hills that I want I would need a larger embark, but if you can make it smaller thats fine.  Flux and ore is nice, but great terrain is more important.

Hopefully one of you worldgen masters could help me in my quest for a scenic embark.

I'm looking for:
 -Small world.
 -An embark with no major impediments to working outside (goblin sieges are fine, I just don't want lethal rain).
 -No running water on the embark.
 -No aquifer.
 -High mineral occurence.
 -Major elevation variation.  Ideally about 3/4 of the embark would be mountainous with the final quarter relatively flat. (This is the most important.)
 -Ideally heavily forested and green, but this is not critical.
 -Ideally within 6x6 embark area, although I'm willing to go as high as 8x8.

Advance thanks to anyone who helps. :)
