Save pre-set expedition teams
« on: January 28, 2008, 04:10:00 pm »

I don't know if this has been suggested or in the works, so my apologies if this is just hot-air.

When I play DF, I find myself setting up two or three variations on the same initial seven dwarves and item settings. IMHO, you should be able to save an expedition team (item settings, apply the dwarves one through seven's skills to the dwarves generated) for that play session.

This is a definite 'want'(and not a 'need') because of the low frequency of games started, but it would still be nice.

Yes this is one thing I really want. I know your not constantly using the embark screen but due to the amount of stuff and how cumbersome it is being able to save a default set up would be bliss. Especially if you're fairly new to the game like me and are just messing around with starting locations.

I agree. It would be nice to ba able to save a default embark setup, so when you hit "Play Now!" it would use your preset.

I thought this already in because it got suggested and I saw it in dev notes (or did I? I'm not so sure now), so I spent hours scouring the wiki the other day, searching for how to do it.
