Can't Retire Fortress?
« on: March 17, 2015, 11:47:56 pm »
I've been playing orc fortress and when I press escape there's only the option to abandon my fortress, and I cant retire it. This really sucks.  Does anyone know what I can do here?

I'd assume that it's because the version is 34.11 ?

You can only retire in the 0.40 alpha version, not 6.2.

The older Masterwork Dwarf Fortress 6.2 is based off Dwarf Fortress 0.34.11
Retiring your fort was introduced in Dwarf Fortress 0.40.x
The current version is 0.40.24

Omitting the "0." and Masterwork having it's own numbering system can make the version numbering a bit confusing.

Kinda makes succession forts more complicated.

No. It's DF2014 that makes them less complicated ;D

You typically don't retire a fort in a succession fort.  You just quit, then pass on the save to the next player.
Succession forts have been around for a long time, well before the Retire Fort option was added to the game.
