Meta- nicknaming locations
« on: January 03, 2021, 05:33:37 pm »

Same fundamental purpose as being able to nickname your own dwarves, furniture or perhaps stockpiles and zones in that locations are often very very sloppy in the naming scheme and it creates difficulty remembering a lot of different and similar locations when there are a pageful of different guildhall options (minus a few labor professions as the list doesnt expand) and at a time a expanding list of gods to create shrines to which the list never seems to grow any smaller as dwarves become more ferverent.

Even taverns being a singular type can get lost in the noise due to non-distinctive naming schemes, so special care taken can just tend to player needs to know how to refer to their sites.

The nickname will always be presented to you in any relevant UI but on the locations screen you can see the areas in-game, and where relevant (such as a person being cross interrogated referring to agree to meet a villian in a place for instance) it'll have the true dwarven name alongside in brackets as to make coherent sense.
