Reviewing region map post embark
« on: July 04, 2008, 01:36:37 pm »

Hey

Was wondering if anyone had a good strategy for taking another look at the site selection map after embarking and getting the fort started.  Backing up, abandoning the fort and looking it up just shows the Ω icon and hides the region.  Essentially, I'd used regional prospector to choose a site with a cave pool and shiny blue metal, but can't remember which was where exactly.  Should've taken a screenie, huh?  Anybody got a good trick for having another look at my site map pre-embark?

Generate the world again from the same seed?  That's all I can think of.

Ok, what you need to do here is copy the folder named "region 1" in the data/saves folder. Then you will be able to start a new fort in the same square by deleting the original after you are done and renaming the original.
