Id love to see screenshots of your improbable fortresses.

I have a tendency to try and build in the most unlikely and often difficult places.

I usually search for the North most land, or North most forests, hottest regions, most evil, etc.

I admittedly suck at the game, and rarely last long, but this kind of challenge always feels so rewarding.

Worst start I ever had was in a pre-Steam version, where the evil blood rain melted the skin of anyone caught in it, which I think lasted about three frames after the initial unpause.

Omg lol. I don't think I've ever had such bad luck ... yet. I think I'm gonna start doing random embarks now.
