Simple Naming Change
« on: May 24, 2011, 03:20:43 pm »
As it stands right now, if you choose a random name for a fortress, it comes out as <random><random>. This is enough to get interesting names, unique to DF, however you have the option to choose more elaborate names, such as <blank><blank> the <blank> of <blank>.
I can name a fortress <blank><blank> of <blank> and hit random, and it will change back to <random><random>, I think it should preserve your word structure so it would come out as <random><random> of <random>.

Hmm..... Maybe as a polishing touch for DF 2010, before he starts the new one.

maybe also an ability to rename a fort each time it changes in size (colony, barony, etc etc)

the obsidian city of plump helmet beer wasn't named so the moment the dwarves decided to go on an expedition to settle, it was named something else before like "the settlement of new things" and later on when cities are added made of obsidian it was renamed over time
