I think I just found Dwarf "Moria"
« on: February 19, 2012, 06:33:56 am »

[EDIT Ok, if I did this correctly.... I think here is the worldgen parameters.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
]

IE, I have come across the single most largest most extensive cave system in Existence!

So basically, it's like this. A while back I picked a massive mountain in a cold, freezing biome far away from civilization.
Went straight in and began digging. And less than 18z levels down, hit the first system.

Now then... normally there are the 2 basic levels, and then the magma sea. Sometimes a third one with the magma sea directly under it.
Right? And usually each layer is, what, 5 or 6z levels tall?

First System I hit was 14z levels. It wasn't just huge in scale, but had MASSIVE open spaces.
Huge rooms that were flat and 6 to 7 levels tall. Open spaces underground you could fit a whole fortress in.
And that was the first level.

Second cave system?
Only about 6 levels down... But the second one was 16[/i]z levels in size with equally massive rooms.
Oh yess, and THIS one has a Magma Pipe AND (giggles) Annnd a Giant Cave Spider!!!

Ok so moving on, less then 3z levels down is the third and final cave system.
now while this one is only a scant 5z levels down, it does NOT terminate in the magma sea.

Oh no... the magma sea STARTS another 20 levels under THAT!
From there it goes down for at least another 30 levels before blacking out.
It may go down even MORE and I haven't found the bottom.
What I DO know, is Bottom is over 160 levels down, and I am barely past 100.
Oh and Did I mention The amount of "Candy" here???
There are "Candy" Pillars that start on the third level and go straight down ALL THAT DISTANCE!

Still not Dwarf enough?

Here is one final thought to chew on...
The whole place is on a "timer" to Doomsday..
You see, there is a glitch in the map that shattered Hell itself.
And because of that, the Magma sea is Draining into it. There is of course over 60 levels of Magma sea. But at some point, the Clowns shall POUR out from Hell as the last magma drains away..

Gentlemen.

Save or it didn't happen.

The only thing that happened in general was the death of 71% of the fort, and that wasn't really worth mentioning.

We must have ☼Engraving☼s. Now.

Also, the save file would be better.

Luckily I have an upload you can find here:

Sadly I had already played the map for quite a while at this point. My fort was in one small area so I had not realized the immense scope of the caves yet.

The orc/goblin filled one from LOTR.

In this case, it has a direct link to the clown car in place of a balrog and cave creaters in place of orcs.

Could you give us the seed? This world sounds awesome!

http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Importing_and_Exporting_Games

Export the seed if you've already embarked:

Load up your fortress and press escape repeatedly until you reach the "Return, Save, key bindings, abandon fort, blah blah blah" options menu. Go to "export local image". Export local images of however much of you fortress you want (select only one level of it to save time exporting). Your Dwarf Fortress folder should now contain several new files including a text file with phrase "world_gen_param" in its name. Thats the one people want. Copy/Paste the text inside it into your forum post (use spoiler tags so people don't have to scroll as much). (You can delete the extra files too if you want)

Silly human. Orcs stole Moria from the Dwarves. :-P


And none of that posession is 9/10ths of law business.

ok Perhaps I should have said I found "Second Moria"
but that does not have the same ring to it...

In other news, a friend took the following screen cap for me.

Here you can see the Sheer cliff face of the mountain.
And directly under that "fault line" in the surface...

Provide save file or world generation parameters so we can recreate the world preferrably a save so we know where it is

He did provide save, just not in the OP post.

All it needs now is an old human diplomat dressed in grey, an elf who can actually fight, and a dwarf with a raging axe fetish, and then we can throw the One Ring into the fires of Mount HIDDENFUNSTUFF.

At work right now.
As soon as I am home (in about 6hours) I will provide the RARS so hopefully others may recreate it from it's orginal state instead of the save file I provided.
