Glacier is pretty good. The trouble comes not from aquifers or lack of water, but from lack of soil. Glacier lack soil of any kind unless you embark with a bit of actual land as part of the embark area. The last glacial embark I did, I dug out a large room and flooded it. Water does evaporate underground regardless of temp. I drained off the water, let the puddles evaporate, and planted in the resulting mud. I'm actually good with anything too in terms of mods. Kobold kamp, DAII, or vanilla. I know wilson said he was interested, so lets get his input.
heres what DAII does
http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=143540.0It's topic is almost always at the top of the "mod releases" section of the modding forum. Personally, I think it's a great mod for dwarf mode. In adventure mode though, it is severely outclassed by wanderers/adventurecraft.
I'm a bit leaning towards Kobold Kamp actually. Never done that before.
