is the %SUBJ% can generate the sea with Islands - at all?  
or may be, though, would be a big lake with some of the island?

is ships and boats is needed in game at all? or maybe in future?

in the Dwarf Fortress i may use the SEED for generate and use world what been generated with someone else.  
SEED is a number for initialise randomiser wich generated map.

I think i saw a few players building bases on islands that spawned inside a river.

The left side of my map is as far as I have seen one big river that I just cannot cross. (no bridges). So yeah, think boats can be useful.

(of course on Omap edges the river probably ends).

Islands are possible to generate of course,. but we need more functional watercraft before it’s desirable.  
Yes boats would be cool, vehicle-sized ones for the player (this is partially implemented), and possibly larger ones hacked in for NPC factions.  
The way our map generation works, a seed value wouldn’t be at all stable, we’d have to rewrite that whole part of the game to make that feature work.  
Having said that, the mapgen is really hacky in places, so it’s possible we’d do exactly that.

That would be cool as hell. Have a floating battle barge, survive the apocalypse on the river ways.
