What's your awesomenest fortress name?
« on: June 12, 2008, 12:56:00 am »

It dosen't have to be randomgenned. It can be awesome silly, awesome Boatmurdered, or awesome chosen carefully by you.

The one I'm currently using is named Ralrimtar Thirsedilzugoboddom Uthgur, "Angelcloister the Everseeing Fortress of Monks". So named because there's both lava, water, and HFS on one map. With any lucky, I should be able to channel both magma and water into the HFS at the same time and scald/drown the HFS out. I'll probably wind up using a Death Corridor and ballastae, though.

That, or carve out a temple to Chaos and dedicate the Monkistary to Khorne, err, Armok, the God of Blood.....

Skyvaults, chosen because I embarked on the top of a very steep mountain peak, one of those rare locations were it goes straight from jagged mountain to flat without small mountains in between. It didn't last long (fps and a 30 z level tunnel to reach traders = not good).

Most of my "awesome" fortress names use the word "rape" in a juvenile way.

"The bloody sludge-blood of evisceration." Maim! Kill! Burn! Maim, kill, burn!
Seriously. I only modified the name a BIT.
It was a terrifying swamp fortress, so I suppose that part fit at least.

Best ever? Strongeye.

After that one didn't live up to the name, I played another called Shockportal.

My current fortress is called Obscurekeys, which I take as a description of DF's interface.

Kilrudurdim, Bronzetowers.  I got that one in the 2D version, and not long after I  read about the famous Copperblazes.  I figured it was a lucky sign.

There was also a dwarf in there by the name of Kulet Kilrudastesh.  "Abbey Bronzecudgel".  I considered him to be the most important dwarf in the fortress, even if he was just a random farmer.

I randomly got Blanketmine, which I happen to like very much (The long-gone fort as well as the name.) I abandoned Blanketmine after I got my "plugging-the-volcano-with-bucketfuls-of-water"-plan completed. Then in adventure mode I had great fun examining the fort afterwards and especially great time when I found the dwarves that lived in Blanketmine from a human village. I stole the artifact gem from my Jeweller and went to sell it to the neighboring village called Necrodeath (I accidently clicked on Necrodeath with alt pressed when I was trying to spellcheck neighboring and answer.com tells me that Necrodeath is an Italian rock band  :D). Then I went back to the village where the Blanketminers lived and got killed by my Guard led by my Captain of the Guard Erib Dorenmilol "Diamondmessiah" when I was trying to steal other artifacts.

Well, I got bit carried away, back to business.

There's something very cool about the random dwarfish name for my first big fort, which was Rakustlibash, "Tombaxe".

One more "awesome" name is the name of my fort I built entirely out of wood aboveground. It was Libashrigòth Geshud Lolun "Axecrafted the Fortress of Wood" (I wasn't going to write it in dwarfish, but while checking Dorenmilol's first name I came upon it.)

P.S Some others I came by in Legends. "Barbdoctrine the Bad Arrow-Loaf of Anger", "Stabpaint" and "Razornumber"

Gee, I bet the elves just loved you. I bet you just drowned them all or something when they came 'round.

Kunalath, "Catbolt." Randomly generated, actually.

Stupidly, I forgot to bring cats with when I started to make the bolts out of.

Also, my first artifact was Dakontathtak Otthat, "The Omen-Wasp of Directing." I predict great things in this fortress's future.

"Thunderbolt" A fortress for testing the gunpowder mod.
"Flarebanners" simply a great name.
"Picklabored" Naturaly.

"Steelkissed"

If I recall correctly, it even had flux.

Am I the only one who uses adjectives and the like? My favorite name for any fortress so far is: Maimgozziril Tosidangsakrithfesh Udar

Which translates to: Dragonfires the Armoured Red Blaze-Wings of Rain.

Yeah I was bored.
