orgional fortress location but with current fortress abilities! that would be awesome and i wouldn't care if there was no levels. you could build a perfect fortress back then, exactly how you wanted it. I'm not saying its not possible now

(bloody amazing) but then it was powerful and beautiful! can anyone do this? maybe a side project from toady himself?

[Mullog]

Actually, I don't agree. 
I like the variation in starting locations and nok knowing excactly what features you'll get makes the game more interesting.

[ChaosFollowing]

I heartily disagree. My best fortress barely lasted a few years, and was a triumph of waterfall engineering, hell unleashing, and general dwarven badassery, none of which would have been possible(or at least not possible to the same extent) in the old 2d version.

I want this badly aswell,  not really that you can build better fortress, but i like the old map concept more, felt bigger and so, pleas invent a old map system ^^

There is nothing preventing someone to build on one level. That being said, I still wish there was a possibility to limit z levels.
Example: I want level -2 to 2 and the game would eliminate the rest, giving more speed, and the possibility to embark to a larger area.

Sometimes i would rater play 4 z levels on a full size map then 182 z levels on a 6x6.

this would be great ...

But can there be lava rivers like the old style? (becuses i never seen one )

[JujuBubu]

I would want those too

[TheSpaceMan]

But. The latest "old version" can still be downloaded.

[^^atte]

Still lots of things has changed since then, thats why a new version with original location would be nice

[Analfish]

Whoa it's my fort from a long time ago. I've seen it quoted twice so far recently. I hate that I lost it with my computer reformat or I would have finished it.

[Dasqoot]

You are frickin awesome analfish. I love that town.

Sometimes I miss the old version, usually when I'm stuck making nothing but tin and lead and wishing my map had at least iron and flux. I don't think I'd be able to go back just because pathing and storage were such nightmares in 2d.

[valcon]

I miss the garaunteed brook, underground river, magma, adamantine, all that stuff, I think they should all be FAR more frequent.

Other than that, nah, lovin the new stuff.

Same here...

Yeah, but it's slow as crap.  You can't set the framerate with regards to 'actual' framerate.
