Civilization species notes For Legends Mode Events
« on: April 08, 2011, 03:42:38 pm »

Legends mode would be significantly more usable if every time the name of a civilization was mentioned in legends mode, the name of that civilization's originating creature type (ie. dwarves, elves, humans, kobolds or goblins etc.) appeared in a parenthetical note after the civilization's names. It would be a simple change and make it a lot easier to tell who was fighting who, whithout having to navigate through two layers of menus and hope that neither of the civilizations is actually a goblin civilization in which goblins have become a minority.

Speaking of legends mode, it would also be nice if there was also a simple listing what civilizations were at war at game start.

Oh yes, this is indeed helpful.

While we're at it, we generally need hints as to what species or caste is doing much of anything in Fortress Mode.  See this previous thread on the subject of castes not appearing in Fortress Mode.

When you're embarking, and you have more than just dwarves as embarkable races, you can't easily tell which race you have until you embark, for example.

You can view your dwarves before embarking to see their caste assuming you have caste descriptions
