I'm new to DF, and very new to Adventure mode. I am trying to go and explore an old, adandoned Fortress. How do I find it?

(And also, Adventure mode moves very slowly. Can I fix this?)

First: You DID actually make the fortress right? And by your definition, what exactly do you define as 'old'.

More to the point: I think you simply press Q or U on the map and it brings up a list of sites you can choose from for the indicator to go to, so you can easily navigate to it. Simply select the name of your abandoned fort and it'll zoom right over there, allowing you to make your way there.

As to the last bit: Adventure mode should work fine if you can run Fortress Mode easily. You probably have to much crap running in the background. Another good tip is to play without fullscreen on, though to my experience, that makes it run slower for me.

It's not actually my fortress, I want to explore 'Commontorches' from a Let's Play thread.

Ah. The lazy man's method.

But yeah, there SHOULD be a key that open up the map and quest information panel, and it should be pretty easy to navigate it to whatever abandoned forts you have in that world.

Try turning off the 'auto-center' option (the one that makes it center on your adventurer when you move). It worked wonders for me.
