*HOW* many z-levels? o_0
« on: July 12, 2010, 03:56:27 pm »

I just counted 150 z-levels below my main fort entrance.
Geez. I am amazed. (First time digging into 31.x after 40d)

I had one at 350. You're going to be amazed when you hit a cavern ;)

My current fort has its bottom at z-level 110. The map won't go any lower. So having my fort entrance at 146 or so isn't as impressive.

I had a world once with a good 450 or 500 z's from top to bottom. Shame I dumped it. Could'a been epic megaproject slate.
