This video was a huge hassle to make, and I'm not even happy with it after the work I've done. Advance warning: speeding up spelunking footage can be slightly disorienting to watch.
From my investigations after the fact, Strongholds are probably a better match for this goal than a mineshaft, but I'm not too concerned about it for the purposes of this video. It's a new thing that I was able to experience.
The music, in order of appearance:
nietzlawe - The Dark Clouds http://nietzlawe.newgrounds.com/
mjattie - Hope Is Gone http://mjattie.newgrounds.com/
I-Saved-The-World - Walk http://i-saved-the-world.newgrounds.com/
Nakisima - Tell No Tales http://nakisima.newgrounds.com/
Wolftacular - Dive http://wolftacular.newgrounds.com/
As always, if using this video, be sure to give the artists listed above credit for their work as well.
The mineshafts that the pre releases generated were very expansive. I spent a long time trying to "conquer" one under my base to no avail. I would suggest holding onto your fortress goal until you find a stronghold on your map (I think 3 generate per map now). They are much more conquer-able, and fit the goal better.
