Problem with picking source dwarf civ selection
« on: December 15, 2007, 02:09:00 am »

In the new fortress embark interface when selecting which dwarf civilization your group comes from (generally 2-3 choices) the area you designate for the fortress on the left map screen jumps around whilly nilly.

Not a big problem but its quite annoying.

I think that is done on purpose   ;)
Now that you mention it, when you jump back and forth on the regional map, it picks the same location for each area.
My guess is that each dwarf civ has preferences as far as it goes for biome/location and that might be the reason for it.

I thought that too at first but the location is random, just shrink the area selected down to 3X3 and the randomness is very apparent.
