Best Fortress Random Name
« on: March 01, 2009, 03:14:24 am »
So I just reformatted my computer after an unfortunate crash, and am now running Windows 7...
Dwarf fort runs just fine and smooth on W7, by the way, though there were a few bumps while I was still getting my drivers all modernized again.

Anyway, I set out to start a new fortress, and what do I see from the random name generator but:
Duraddeduk Enôrbiban Nokzam
Which, in the language of us filthy non-dwarfs would translate to:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

... I have a very good feeling about this fort already.

What's the best name you've all gotten out of the random generator?

Portalflames the fortress of steel.

Maybe I cheated a bit.  ;D

I got "Battlegreed the Grave of Thieves" randomly, and I liked it so much that from then on all my fortresses are named that.

New question! If I were to remove elves [INTELLIGENT] tag in the raws, would it work?

Same here, it's far too much effort thinking of names yourself.

Current fort is called Kizeststakud - "Zealmachine". Quite apt, I think, considering how furiously I've got the little buggers churning out works to please me.

Soundmirrors. Associated with mountain range where any sound makes a mighty echo.

I had one called CryptBasements (can't remember exactly).

Don't know if it's really cool, but turned out to be very fitting as I built an above ground fort and was trying to defend it with the guard only. Buried the dead in the halls under the fort and had about 90 filled coffins before that last siege killed everyone.

Drunkenrats?  Seriously?  That suits the dwarves so perfectly it's hardly even funny...

In going with the theme of my fortress' name, I've decided to put in a few self-imposed challenges... No immigration, all population growth must be achieved through children born of the initial seven!  (Inbreeding should give me pretty freaky dwarves after awhile, but meh) And no walls or moats completely blocking off entry, the fort must be protected by traps and an army!

... Blue balls of battle indeed.

The romantic in me wants desperately to believe that was randomly generated.

The cynic in me has other thoughts.

 There is very little I can do in terms of beating Nutsack, but once I found a few fortress names that got a chuckle from me.

Roadknives.
Lovebolts.
Channeledvirgins.
Whiplust.

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.
