ok ok..... this shouldn't be an issue.  A few times now in a rush to leave the house/shut down my pc I have gone into the esc menu and hit the "retire the fortress (for the time being)" option.  "Save Game" is just kinda a weird thing too myself to say.  And compounding on that it's near the top of the menu while I am user to games using the bottom of the menu to indicate, "Save & Quit" I guess.

Just griping probably.



Just ended a fort sadly after deciding it might be interesting to start a fort near a evil tower.     Bad idea, just after finding some iron and flux, and had 3 pretty decent axedwarves.  In pops a necromancer and about 10 skele's and 5 undead.  Sent my pathetic well armored military out to greet them to give my civ's some more time.  Yeah, that didn't work.

Is this the right forum for this?

Sorry was unclear where to post, but I am making the suggestion of making it a bit more clear in the menu that save quits the game also or maybe changing its location.

I wouldn't mind having the menu rearranged slightly. As it stands, both 'save' and 'retire' are one key press away from the default 'continue'. It doesn't seem to matter that one is up and the other is down, only that it's one button away.

Would an "are you sure you want to retire" popup fix this, I haven't played in a while so I don't know if one already exists.

In fortress mode, the "retire" option is two key presses away from "return to game" ("abandon the fortress" is at the bottom of the menu).
Also, there is a confirmation for retiring (and abandoning), and it's difficult to accidentally accept:
