Concerning world names...
« on: December 15, 2011, 03:18:07 pm »
I just generated a world called "The Dimension of Dragons". Am I screwed?

I guess my real question is whether df can name a world based on something like "We accidentally the number of dragons, so theres like 80." or is it just a cool name?

They should implement that though. But, it is just random.




Or so you hope.

you're fine on NAMES:
you'd be screwed if it had been: "you have entered the age of dragons" because it would actually mean that dragons would be a majority of the world population.

“Well,” he said. “We’re in the Forgotten hunting grounds I take it. Your screams just woke them up early. Congratulations, Lyara.”
“Do something!” she whispered, trying to keep her sight on all of them at once.
Basileus clapped his hands once. The Forgotten took a step forward, attracted by the sound.
“There, I did something. I clapped. I like clapping,” he said. -The Investigator And The Case Of The Missing Brain.

Actually, it means nearly all megabeasts alive are dragons. And to reach that you'll need a lot of megabeast-slaying action to take place.

Oh good. Unfortunately, the entire fort was eaten by a single alligator. So the point is now moot.  :'(
