If you choose "Play Now" immediately after the end of your fort, you'll start in the fort just after its collapse. Of course, you'll also be totally naked.

Hi!

Well, there are different methods for finding the site or at least its general whereabouts.

The most concrete way would probably be simply using reclaim after abandoning. However, this means that you either need to re-abandon immediately or abort the game via the task manager as you can't get back from the embark/reclaim screen (^_^;;

You could try to see if the fortress is listed in legend mode. I am not so sure about that solution.

Finally, you can create image-bearing things (engravings, figurines, statues, decorations) and see what locations are mentioned for historic events. It should always be the same subregion which will then at least tell you which subregion your fortress is in.

ps. I think it would've been nice with a help forum for DF. Oh and I haven't even touched Adventure mode! ds.

That would be DF Gameplay Questions.
