2007 - a great year for DF, and a good 33g seed too.
« on: January 30, 2008, 09:49:00 pm »

After having no luck finding a good site using seed 2008, I tried 2007, and came up with several.  All sites below have surface water, trees, iron, magma, access to all civs, chasm, and HIDDEN FUN STUFF unless otherwise noted. Coordinates given are from Regional Prospector

Near misses:
            24,173 3x5 region (no sand)

            96,113 3x6 region (no sand)

            125,100 5x5 region (limestone, obsidian and bauxite but no chasm)

And two sites of excellence:

            32,98 sinister surroundings, hematite, sand, surface water (if you are dwarf enough to drink from the crocodile's pool), a large chasm, and an underground river with waterfall.  No skeletal elks, but perhaps I could interest you in zombie goats?  No flux, but you did say you wanted a challenge right?

            124, 96 3x7 region, or even 2x7 sand, a river that starts above ground and dives below ground, limestone, magnetite, a long chasm and lots of obsidian.

edit: 124, 96 is slightly bugged.  This map is mostly over the treeline so with a 2x7 or 3x7 you need to get lucky and be placed in the NW corner to be below the treeline.  If you go 4x7 you can choose biome F2 (forest) to increase your chances of embarking below the treeline.

You'd think handing out the crossbows to brain damaged dwarfs would be a bad idea but it isn't
