Exiting Embark/Fortress Location Screen?
« on: April 24, 2010, 06:57:18 am »

I can't tell if this is a bug or if I am just missing something obvious, but is there any way to leave the screen on which you are choosing where to embark, and return to the main menu of the game?

I am having some trouble getting enough surviving civilizations when using a custom worldgen, so I generally go in and look around to see if there are any embark spots with more than just Dwarves (and sometimes Elves) to trade with... but there really doesn't seem to be any way to get out of that screen except embarking... and I really do mean, no way out. I have to actually bring up Task Manager and close the process to exit the game. Even closing the window doesn't do it.

AFAIK, using the task manager is the only way out. It has been reported on the bug tracker, so that should be fixed soon.

Nope.  Command's been killed.  There's no way out.
