My friends and I would like to use a world on 'amplified' world type, which increases something or other by doing this and that… I really dont understand how it works, but I would like to know if amplified worlds actually have flat areas that are common/ large enough to build on, because when I looked at them in a snapshot a while back (I forget which), the mountains were so ridiculously huge and crowded together that I could not find a suitable place to build for my life.
Are areas where y values change by less than 5 in a radius of 8 blocks in every direction (I say this only to lay down a definition for "build able") possible in amplified type worlds, and are they common enough that I could find one in less than 10 minutes of searching? (we generally spend about this long finding an area anyways)

Hilltops, plains, valley floors, and plateaus are relatively common also, and make good spots to build. When I did it, I had no trouble finding several nice places within a quick walk.
