Named Sieges?!?!
« on: August 13, 2008, 11:08:31 pm »

Based on engravings my dwarves have made of dwarves killing goblins, it seems that sieges and other events are
now given names! Apparently the first siege was called "The Steamy Raptor" and the second was called
"The Monstrous Insanities". Also a kobold was shot and killed during "The second attempted theft of ..."
and the hydra was killed during the hydra's rampage.(It did bite off a champions foot...) Has anyone else noticed
this sort of thing?

Yea, it is much richer now. I wish we could name sieges that occur during our doorstep though.
"The Anus of Rivers" isn't as rich as "The Boring Day of Fortresses", but I'd rather name the siege something real, that reflects the whole locked up event.

Or even better, "The Death of levers"

Or "The Cage of rivers"

Anyone else think this sounds like a porno title?

The coolest part is that they appear in the legends screen, complete with numbers.

Even the abductions and ambushes are tracked, you'll get like "The Fifth Abduction at Fortname"

So does that mean that if a fort goes on for long enough, we could have:
"The 8096th Abduction At Duskbowels"?
Yes, that would take a while.
But I did have a town in one of my old 39c worlds with around that many attempts...

I just skimmed the OP, and didn't see that until you said it and I went back to read it. And yes, that it does.
