Z-level is a term that refers to vertical levels in Dwarf Fortress.

  • Suggested Terminology: "L+6" is z-level 6, and "L-13" is z-level -13.

The displayed Z-level is the height above or below ground at the tile you are looking at; notably, moving the cursor in the x-y plane can result in a change of relative height displayed as the ground level changes. Try moving across a cliff from subterranean area to open sky for a good example of this.

There doesn't seem to be a standard range of levels for a given map, on some maps it's -16 to +17, on others it goes as low as -31, maybe deeper.
