How do you play more than 1 fortress per world?
« on: July 15, 2013, 05:22:17 am »
My options screen when I load DF give me a choice of "continue playing", which loads my game where I left it, and "create new world". Is it possible to scrap a fortress, or game, but keep the world it was played in? Or do you have to create a new world for each new fortress?

I have the latest lazy newbie pack

You can always abandon a fortress (press escape during play and abandom from the main screen). Then you can start a new fortress in the same world.
(Depending on the state of your current fortress you might get upset migrants from your abandoned fortress in the new one.)

--Snip --- Wrong topic.

What laurin said, you will have to abandon your fortress for this release to create a new fortress/adventurer in the world.

However, in the NEXT release, toady our glorious leader is putting in an option to leave the fort running as it is and then making another fort in the world.

Slight correction.

I believe what we are getting is still essentially 'you have abandoned the fort' - as in that fort is no longer a playable fort.

However, instead of the fort actually crumbling to its death, it continues on (basically, it becomes an NPC fort so to speak).
