They would be randomly generated, chaotically (using the mathematics of chaos theory which I am sure Toady can explain better than I), and be populated with zombies and wraiths, as well as the loot of the tombs of millennia of dwarven rulers.

Last time I worked on chaos theory was ten years ago but I am pretty sure that you mean fractal, or simple algorithms. But let us not derail.

To the point : I have yet to encounter underground zombies, even if I have seen strange things, but I heard that you can encounter dwarven fortress guards under Paris. And you guess what ? They fine you if they get you !

DF General Discussion / Catacombs of Paris

Here is a nice distraction for you until the new version of our beloved game :

http://www.catacombes.explographies.com/
Choose you language at the bottom.

It is the history and maps of the underground under Paris : 300 km of galleries !  ;D  There is even pictures and descriptions of mushroom farming  and block making 8)

For the curious, it is possible to visit a small part of it at the metro station Denfert-Rochereau. But the big part of it is (theoricaly  ;) ) unaccessible.

Edit : for the lazy, here is a link to a part of the map http://exploration.urban.free.fr/catacombes/v5-zoom-us.htm

Isn't it more like XX*Toy hamster*XX?

Indeed, if it is as tattered as Toady has said.

Well, more precisely :

Just wanted to share this one :

A thief has stolen a ☼Steel plate mail☼!
A masterwork of Urvad Sibrekorstist has been lost!

And I started playing DF with the 2D version, it's a shame...  :-\
