Going to let it generate ~125 years of history.

I feel this is a good amount. Too long, and all the beasts die off. Too early, and the place just doesn't have enough juicy stuff

Worldgen is complete.

Big world - very big. Looks like we have a polar ice cap in the south too, so that's great

A few different landmasses, which will also be pretty awesome

The map's taller than it is wider, which seems odd to me?

Anyway, let's have a bit of a look at it https://mastodon.social/media/XiSsgqSpjIWS-wGgxy4

Alright. Worldgen's complete, so we're ready to go

Remember, I'll answer any questions you have if you want to know stuff.

Just also remember I'm probably not going to be the best person to ask, but that too is ok!

If you want to see the data I keep, here's a google sheets link:

Time to find a starting point!

We're gonna go on easy mode now, so we're looking for a river, sand, clay, and ore

This location has the things we want, no aquifer, AND a few neighbouring civs (which we want for raids, etc!)

So looks like we're pretty set already!

Actually, just a bit of haunted ground to the north.

We're gonna avoid that

Always check the additional biomes folks

Embark setup in progress.

Mostly the changes include lots of plump helmets, and taking some birds for their eggs

Can't quite remember what else I always take with me.

Guess we'll find out when I post about my fuckups later, eh?

@DarkestKale
Looking forward to seeing this.

@Alisca lemme know if you want a dorf named after you

@DarkestKale I would be honoured

@Alisca The pact is sealed. First migrant wave

Like, I seriously remember that I always take at least one of something, but... hrm

Maybe nest boxes?

THE TIME FOR THE FORT HAS COME

💎 💎 CRYSTALLIVING 💎 💎

"Wooooo we're gonna smash thi-

Frozen? Fuuuck youuuuu"

Doing a quicksave first, and it's taking a while

Suspect I went with a map size that's too big

Here's where we settled, by the way.

Pretty sweet.

Lots of sand, which is good, can be used as soil, etc.

Glass industry as well. I think I also see clay in there which is also fine

@DarkestKale have !!FUN!! o/
