omg, i just started DF not that long ago, and i fel head over heals, i stumbled upon the wiki article and thought it was just a bug/gimmick from DF's past, imagine my surprise when i find this article, now impose further surprise when i get to the point where the save works.... now imagine my dissapoint when my stupid computer dies 3 seconds after embark (i wasn't quick enough on the pause button)

Still, i feel as giddy as a teenager about to lose his virginity.... honestly i think i may even be giddier

That is one long sentence.

i just embarked to a place with almost 3000 z level of admantine :O it was glorious! unfortunately the gods of FPS forbid me from such a marvelous adamantine tower to heaven. :C

Did you really find another spire? Or are you just talking about the same one?

[Urist McIsaac]

super face palm! it was a new spire and no I did not save an image. Now i'm really kicking myself in the pants though, i had no idea it was such a rare occurrence. I would have the saved and took screen shots and everything. :C

@lord
Yeah thats what happens when your drunk one evening and stumble upon armocks Pecker in the forums.

My Spire! I found it, I remembered to reclaim! Oh the glory and the FPS terror. Sorry about the crappy screen shots, if you want more just ask. I'm never going to destroy this world.

Haha. I'm going to check this out out. See if my computer can handle it.

Can you mine!?! if so, post the save now please, I must accept Armok's divine challenge to cave it in to make a mountain instead of a great needle, then to make a fort in this mountain. maybe even a gigantic temple.

yopu know, i think the only reason that the spire is only 2000-odd levels high rather than infinity is because it goes off the side of the map. someone should abandon then embark right next to the previous embark

no i cant mine, as soon as i unpause my FPS drops like a rock. How does one post a save file? i'll try the other embark thing though.

I tried embarking next to my spire ,first time crashed DF, second time i got a world of magma and deep caverns with super FPS. I think i'll need a super computer.

Make the save's folder to a .rar or something, then upload it here

If you can get it to work, carve longcat into the spire and throw kittens off the top.

There's a Dwarf on a road
all Adamantine and cold
And she's carving a stairway to heaven

When she gets there she knows
It's Economy:NO
With no coins she'll still get royal bedrooms

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
And she's carving a stairway to heaven

Waves Lighter

There's a (d)-(s)mooth on the wall
But she wants to cave more
'Cause you know sometimes pipes have
Some wholes in them

On a pick by the brook
There's a wambler who sings
Sometimes all of our walls are
Undiggable

Ooh, it's Armok's wonder
