Fortress Names
« on: August 25, 2008, 07:35:11 pm »
After going through the random name generator a few times searching for a good name I found one that really struck me: Exitceilings. Makes so sense that I can see whatsoever but for some reason I just can't forget it.

So I searched 5 pages back, didn't find a thread and made one. So the purpose of this is twofold: One, what do you think when you hear 'Exitceilings' and two, what names (random or otherwise) for fortresses have you found truly memorable?

My first thought? A room filled with ejector seats.

...which would be AWESOME!

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

I had a good one.

"The Barricade of Finding"
The group name was "The Dagger of Testing", which I found to actually be pretty cool.

And thus did the dream of dwarven antigravity fade away, not with a massive explosion or a flood of magma, but with a whimper.

I'm going to be depressed all day now.

Playing a cheesemaker in an average Fortress 'round here would be. Freaking. Terrifying.

Exitceilings makes me think of the safest direction of travel for any dwarf currently inside your fortress.

I managed to get Valeoar, and my group was named The Windy Net (part of the Lovely Boats colony). This was all pretty amazing since I decided none of it and decided to start an island colony.

I found my current fort's name to be rather amusing, especially in light of the dwarven civilization's name:

Civilization name: "The Mighty Syrups"
Fortress name: "Luredsyrup"

Only ultra-mighty dwarves can handle our syrup.  It really sticks to the roof of your mouth.

For my latest fortress, as I had planned on writing up the experience on my personal blog, I spent a lot of time hitting r.  Saw "stablefortress" at one point, felt it might be false advertising. 

Ended up with "Dragondoor" which I almost think is too serious for this game's theme.

"I accidentally dislodged a single tile at ground level while trimming the hill around the fortress entrance, and it punched through a lava moat, a gem stockpile and a bone stockpile before coming to a halt in someone's bedroom.  The bedroom's owner, a planter, was in bed at the time, and he got up and walked to the door just in time to get a coating of lava, gems, bones and scorched legendary miner chunks."  -NCarter
