ok Slinkyfest  you are in the 12 spot.
by the way its my first succession game as well.

ok I'll generate 5 new worlds and we'll pick one

what size do you people want?

Preferably medium or small. Actually, if you can find a good spot in smaller or pocket, it's good too as it'll cut down loading times and make finding the fortress in adventurer easier.

I don't mind for whatever. The turns are one year each yeah? It should only take me a day or so to burn through this if that's the case.

[DFNewb]

how fast are your computers?
mine can run 100 dwarfs at 100fps so I think I should go pretty far back on the list (maybe 10th or 13th) anyone else who has a good computer and wants to go near the end so the fortress won't get crippled by fps or should I just not worry about this?

Hmm, my comp isn't all that great, I'm running 15-20 fps with 80 dwarves on a 4x3. Its year 4-5 I think but its not all that great. I would be  fantastically happy with a 2x2 fortress in the tundra. Lacking that if anyone would like to switch from 5 or below that would be nice, otherwise I might actually step off. I would hate to drag the fortress into a laggy untimely end due to an outdated processor.

the pictures of 17 worlds I generated are here just look at them and tell me which one and where on it to embark and the most popular one wins.

if no one picks a world and location by tomorrow morning I'll pick one

I vote for any map that has "terrifying" and is bloody difficult to play in.

Here here. Though I think its best to have some natural resources lying around. That way we have opponents to keep it interesting and the ingredients for great things. Or just pull a Nist Akath except in a desert. Sand, sand everywhere! (A glass city would be neat)

My vote is for 15, it looks like a magma vent in a terrifying area, so I'm all for that.  We do need a f*ck the world device after all.

I'd sort of like to go somewhere in the middle, perhaps around where I am now on the list. And I'll vote for any of the smaller/pocket maps - I think I got around 40-50 FPS on a smaller map after 6 years. That and I agree on exploring it in adventure mode, always a fun thing to do

I'm leaning toward 17, preferably near the middle ocean, perhaps in the badlands, or tropical forest.

Didnt see the vent, I recast my vote on 15

I really dont have any preference to where we embark. part of the fun in this is to be thrown into the fray and working with what im given.

[DFNewb]

ok is almost everyone happy with the terrifying magma vent?

[umiman]

Go for it. Don't make the embark site too big though.

[dresdor]

Now watch and it turns out to be red sand...that would piss me off lol.
