"real" island
P-Luke:
Lately I seem to have been obsessed with creating lake, island or ocean cities (I prefer using humans rather then dwarfs, sorry for the blasphemy :p), yet I've never found a "real" island: that is, a fortress with water-only tiles on all 4 sides.
Is this even possible without artificially flooding your map from an aquafier or other water source?
Captain Xenon:
if you found one, and had no edge for wagons and migrants, that would impact play a bit. and there are no boats. i suspect its hard-coded to not give 'true' islands for that reason, even if they are islands on a larger scale.
P-Luke:
Yes I expect the same. which is sad really, as I have no problems with having a fortress that can not be traded with or receive immigrants, even if that means I'll have to kill nearly all moody dwarfs.
Broose:
Have you tried the world painter?
P-Luke:
Yes, but for some reason I can only create extreme maps: it only gives me ocean layers of 0 elevation and superpeaks of 51647 elevation.. and after trying different colors and settings for an hour I decided to "screw it" :p
But I think that will still generate more then a single tiled island, though I can't say for sure.
