I've finished my castle and now working on building an elevated railroad system into the desert. But I might add an extra two floors to make it more imposing.

The first time I went into the nether, I knew absolutely nothing about it. I didn't even know what monsters were in there. I just read that you could make the protal and thought it sounded cool, so I made one and went in.
First steps into the nether, I was deep underground. I hear giggling children, and think "whoa this is creepy. I wonder what the surface is like!" I break one block with my pick, and suddenly, I hear screaming. Since the sceaming started after I broke the block, I (incorrectly) figured that it must have been because it broke it. So I put the block back and got the hell out of there.
I read up on the nether a little more, and am preparing for my second journey.

Whatever you do, DO NOT attack the zombie pigmen.
Also, the creepy children laughing Ghast sound makes for an awesome Halloween soundtrack.

I like the new map algorithm. Creates some Avatar-like scenes. 
And steep mountainsides.

They're on fire cus there's lava somewhere that set them on fire. So yeah, its fairly normal, if annoying.
Slimes spawn at the very bottom of the map (or they should, but I think the spawn code got bugged). They need a certain amount of room to spawn, and maybe flat ground. I'm not sure exactly, but I've noticed tons more in the mines I've dug myself than deep caves.
Hollowing out a large room seems to be the best way, but make sure its big enough. My first hollowed mine was large enough that they would spawn away from the ladder. My second was a little too small and I couldn't even go down there anymore, lol. For some reason after they spawn they gather around the corners of the room, so I get four swarms of them.
BTW I haven't seen one at all since the update, so I'm not sure if the bug got fixed or not.
As for the nether I'm a bit disappointed. It was cool at first, but now I think it needs more variety - maybe ectoplasm lakes, or soul trees, or new resources. Before the update I was liking the idea of having to get lantern materials from hell, but if its going to be so bland I think I'll change my mind.
I also think ghasts need to spawn less often, but take more than 3 arrows to kill. The interruption to building or mining lightstone is annoying, but they're not actually that tough. I want to be scared by them, not irritated.

Slimes are damned scary
I stumbled upon a huge nest of them while mining a downwards shaft to find a cave; died.
Went back to get my stuff; died
Again; died.
Goddam scary critters just JUMP you. Literally.

Thats not Isengard...thats Minas Tirith.
I dont think anyone's yet made Isengard, but there have been several versions of Orthanc (The black tower in Isengard)

I want this game but ugh. I can't buy it...Yet. I'd totally want to create a giant tree fortress with trees that grow out of it and the trunk is hollow and theres a mine underground and...or maybe a cloud fortress if that's possible. I just wonder if my old Windows 2000 can run it...Probably not.
