The size of the embark location directly affects how much data about a map the game will have to store in your computer's memory and the size of your save files. U, M, K, and H will resize the embark location. The arrow keys control the X cursor in the center 'Region' view while u, m, k, and h move the embark location around within the Local view. This restriction will be removed in the future. The world map cannot be directly controlled, and exists only to give you the overall view of where, relative to the rest of the features of the world, the region map is focused on.Ĭurrently, an embark must be entirely within a tile on the 'Region' view. The local view constitutes a 16×16 grid of embark area tiles (each representing 48×48 tiles when you are playing the game) that is within a single region tile. A section of highlighted tiles in the Local view indicates the current embark location within the region. The Choose Fortress Location screen shows four separate sections, with three of them being views of the land at different levels of magnification: Local, Region, and World.
