Vae's Newbie Location Recommendations

If you're looking for a easy spot to start playing DF in, here's my advice:

Magma	Avoid	Adds temptation to flood your fort with lava, not to mention fire imps and other fire creature harassments.
Aquifer	Avoid	Usually above the rock you need to get at, and is hard to penetrate
Biome	Temperate	Get Something mild, not hot or cold. Avoid savannah to avoid elephants. Colder means your water freezes over for longer periods.
Wood	Recommended	Heavily Forested
Plants	Recommended	Plants are food, so pick a spot with some or lots
Flux	Recommended	having a flux layer is a good idea
Metal	Cross your fingers	there's lots of iron and other ores... especially if you get a flux layer
River	Avoid	Carp.
Brook	Recommended	Water.
