Fort name translation
« on: January 17, 2008, 06:51:00 pm »
This isn't a big one, but I've been racking my brains trying to find a screen which shows my full fort name and its translation.  It's on the status screen, but the name is too long to fully display there.

Any ideas?

There's the one when you first embark... I can't think of any others off the top of my head.

If I remember correctly your fort name appears also if you have 2 or more forts saved. Adventure mode saves should also work. Anyway you also need 2 or more worlds to get the load screen.    :)

edit: spelling errors

It shows it on the Fort Status screen, iirc.

Example: Town Tholurdim, 'Deeptowers'

As I mentioned, it's too long for it to all show on the z status screen.  The first part is Twighlightaura, but I don't know the rest.  Anyone capable of translating "Nakisberim?"  I think it might be "the Cunning Artifice".

Make a backup copy of your fort, abandon, then go into the legend screen, you can find the full name in there. Then simply go back to your backup.

This is correct.
