The impossible has happened...

I've seen this dialog today:


It's the first time I ever see it, months after implementing it (and it works immediately, I'm so proud :-) ).

You get this dialog when walking down from one level to the other. If you've played the game you may have the impression that every level has exactly one level below. This is not really the case. Actually, every level can have a number of levels below it; all stairs down lead into "virtual/invisible crawlways" that in turn lead down into one of a number of levels below. While you're in a crawlway you can look down into the levels and decide which of them you want to take. This is what this dialog is for.

Now the problem is that while Web Raid is crawling a site and building a dungeon, you have to wait. Therefore, right now, Web Raid's dungeons always have exactly ten levels. And by default Web Raid digs down into the site until it hits a page with no new pages below and only then keeps adding a second "child level" below a level.

And since about all sites have a hierarchy deeper than 10 levels, you nearly never see this dialog that helps you select your favorite level below. But it's there. Maybe you find it as well :-)

And btw: with the improved jump gate handling in Web Raid 1.1.1, the probability actually increases.
