Multi z level fortress
« on: November 05, 2011, 03:08:39 pm »

Once upon a time i had a 140 z level fort, complete with running water, articial waterfalls that cleansed blood from dwarves. It was grand

unlike this, every game i have tried since always has a max z level underground of 38-50 z levels.

Unacceptable, i had my dwarves home carved out at z level 120, with lovely magma lakes and obsidian walls.

Is there a way to see how far underground an area is in world creation?

Using advanced worldgen you can describe exactly how deep it should be and how many layers are between each cavern and such.  I made a world with 100 layers of stone and then HFS directly under, no caverns.  I forget what I had been planning for that one, probably something phallic...
