Access Legends Mode Anytime
« on: December 27, 2010, 03:41:55 pm »

I would like to be able to access the legends mode screen for a given world from the main menu even when that world has an active fortress or adventurer in it. I like to look stuff up.

That's about the long and the short of it.

There's a fairly simple workaround to this.  Just copy the region folder, load and abandon the fortress in the copy region, and then examine legends at leisure.

I already know of this workaround, but I would prefer that it were not necessary, especially since they're such large save (sets of) files.

I think this has been suggested before. Maybe one or two billion times...

Old suggestion is old.
