suggestion: renamable savegames which work
« on: October 09, 2007, 10:19:00 am »
DF suggestion: make saves so that if you rename the savefile (region3.sav to region4 for instance) and the corresponding directory, they still work when loaded and don't cause bizarre errors.

This is in for the next version.  Each world lives in a folder (no dat/sav files outside the folder), and the folder can be renamed however you like.

Thank you Toady!
I tried making a copy of one of my games to try adventure mode, and both copies of my fortress were abandoned. I had not made backups.  :(

That's probably where the Noble system came from in the first place - a cold hard calculation to save Dwarven civilization from thermonuclear politician brawls.
