| Dec 6, 2015 at 0:54 | comment | added | Madmenyo | It's an old post but depths in dwarf fortress depend on sedimentary layers. Like the earth crust is thicker on some places. DF is not completely geological correct but man they studies it like pro's :D. | |
| Jul 24, 2012 at 13:05 | comment | added | DampeS8N | @Lawton, my map only allows me to page through 45 levels. They are absolutely variable but I wasn't easily able to find numbers on how many each map has accessible. It also may depend on what version of the game we are using. In the end it isn't all that important for my answer. | |
| Jul 24, 2012 at 13:03 | comment | added | Lawton | @DampeS8N I just loaded up an unmodded, medium map and was able to view from +16 to -156, around 180 levels. 40 level maps are the exception, not the rule. Even if you are only able to dig 40 of them due to being blocked by an aquifer or lava, its not relevant, because the area underneath is still populated with simulated fun. | |

| Jul 24, 2012 at 4:49 | comment | added | DampeS8N | @Lawton I believe I am incorrect about the the max size, but the height is not that incorrect. I'm correcting it. I loaded the game and the embark I am on is only about 45 levels high. More might be 'simulated' but I don't have access to them for digging or building. | |
