Title: Fortress names!
Post by: Alfador on October 29, 2007, 09:49:00 pm
I'm sure you've all discovered the name generator and are just itching to abuse it. So I'll start us out with my first fortress name:

Rithogigang Thokdegdetgashavalsuthmam Emär
Stinkygoo the Obscene Vulgar Love-Breeches of Animals.

I'm a sick, sick person.   :D

[EDIT]*bangs head on wall* Oh boy. Here's my group name:
Manthul àlilguthstaksïsal Vuknud
Deviance the Gleeful Spurting Gallows of Strangulation.

I haven't used it yet, but my first fortress in the new version was called, "Cavelabor." A bad omen... maybe. You can also name your expedition group.

It took me, like, half an hour to make a fortress name.

I just went with "Balls".  It's short, but poetic.

Title: Re: Fortress names!
Post by: Alfador on October 30, 2007, 01:32:00 am
Well, my first fortress turned out not to be in a Heavily Forested, Thickly shrubbery'd zone as I'd thought, but rather a desolate rocky plateau with no plants but some short stubby grasses. The plateau was literally made of marble, though, so I'm keeping that "fortress" in reserve while I tumble onto one of the three other worlds I generated whilst folding laundry. (Since I'd NEVER get said laundry done if I'd started Dwarf Fortress right away.)

Anyhow, here's my second attempt.
Fortress:
Råshfastam Ulingnashonagakustos Thokdeg
Deathjailer the Crazed Bloody Anus-Anger of Obscenity

Group:
Okay, Urdim Sat "The Tower of Strokes" was delightful on its own. But let's see here...
Rushrulzon Gòstangdozebnazushurdim Sat
...Purplehelm the Awe-inspiring Fruity Blood-Tower of Strokes.

I'm crying on the inside.

"Testlance".

It seemed incredibly appropriate.

Title: Re: Fortress names!
Post by: Jaqie Fox on October 30, 2007, 01:49:00 am
Due to me misunderstanding what build channel does in this version, I had to restart. when I did, I came up with a more meaningful and nicer name... "Steel of dragons" I like it!
Title: Re: Fortress names!
Post by: Xotes on October 30, 2007, 07:30:00 am
My fortress is gonna be called "Battleangel the Ancient Blades of Death."

As you can tell, I'm gonna be warlike.

Also, the name of my group is "Deepwars the Awe-inspiring Bane of Nations"

I like them very much. Very. Much.

Okay, just a few names to toss out there:

Ngathseshngathsesh Thólthodthólthodngathseshngathsesh Ngathsesh
Pukepukes the Gross Gross Puke-Puke of Puke

Okay, this one I was just trying to make the longest name I could find. I went through the raws looking for eight-letter words (forgetting that they're all nice and lined up in the actual generator!!) and found "puke" to be the only NINE-letter word. Unfortunately, it didn't work as an adjective, so I put in the apt "gross" for the token eight-letter.

Roderokir Egarnurlogabalmishthem Zustash
Baldelder the Old Incontinent Pale-Scholar of Ancients
This founding party must have one foot in the grave!

Rumredrumred Rumredrumred Rumred
Pepperpepper the Pepper-Pepper of Peppers

I bet at least half of all user-created names have nearly all their words beginning with A, B, or C. Because there are a lot of words to scroll through. Remember folks, the option to type in a filter to try to find words!

Post by: Asehujiko on November 04, 2007, 07:48:00 am
I tend to make some poetic names but sometimes the random names are scarier.
My current fort has been randomly named ironhills but it's completely flat(exept for the volcano) and i have yet to find any sort of metal or gems(fully excavated -2, -1 are my living quarters and -3 isn't realy promising either)

Also, one of my failed tests(named "testfortress") had a founding group called The Lancers of God.

Templar Dwarves?

Fort:
Dostustkulet, Tormentabbeys

Group:
Lòr Råsh, Tool of Death

Despite the names, the fort will be boring. I already scoped out the area. The creatures list has only dwarves and tames. Even though there's a huge five level sinister lake right in the center of the map and the map itself is tropical, heavily forested shrub land, it's empty.

Friend of mine managed "Ghostriders of Whips." He was trying to create a fort named (in Dwarven) "Sussudio" but there aren't quite the right syllables for it.

For my purposes though? "Soulplane."

"Bloodyboot the Angry Red Foot of Rancor" (damn dwarves tracked blood everywhere)

My Fortress is "Burn the Unspeakable Obscene Proliferation of Skin".  It's probably going to burn to death in a magma flood.  I also have "Emptybelly the Ominous Blighted Fear of Hunger" who undoubtedly will be killed by skeletal carp and skeletal giant eagles befor ethy have a chance to starve.

Could be worse.  It could have been the eternal Party Fortress:


Stinkyspews the Putrid Spurting Anus-Goo of Lust.

On the screen where you select your dwarves and equipment, you press shift+f

Then you select your fortress name using that menu. Play around with it a bit, it shouldn't take too long to figure out (don't forget you can also pick the words using the "e" instead of scrolling through the endless lists)

I tend to randomly generate the names. Tend to be more interesting that way. The last one I had was 'Slaughterbolted' which was rather fitting, as I used the fortress to expirement with magma. Interestingly, it was the goblins that wound up killing it, not my misadventures with molten rock.

I named my Fortress Lolokgeshud Vanel, or "The Granite Fortress of Visionaries", Apparently those visionaries are blind. Most of my wonderful fortress is made from Chalk walls. The more fancy places are made of Chalk Block. There is a small section made of platinum, and a few small places made of materials that were just smoothed instead of totally replaced. It kind of annoys me, but is mostly my own fault. Chalk is just as happiness inducing as Granite, and much, MUCH more plentiful. I've got over 1000 Chalk rocks sitting idle, and have an entire level made out of placed chalk instead of dug chalk. Most of my doors are out of chalk, Buildings out of chalk, even furniture out of chalk. If I had 1000 Granite stones, I still wouldn't do massive reconstruction out of granite because of the effort involved for no gain. Well, I would just to match the name, I've done wierder things involving my fortress then that  ;)
Still, Someone needs to remove the dust from my Dwarves eyes so they can see it's clearly a Chalk fortress. Damn blind visionaries.

I thought there was granite in them thar hills before I named my fortress, and the hills are called the Mountains of Visionaries. Ahh well.

"Darkforest the Green Tower of Watchfulness".  I've forgotten the group name, but I'll get it soon enough.

This is a green glass tower-fort built in the middle of a terrifying evergreen forest.  It's actually pretty awesome here.  The only problem is that the forest in question is called "the Stupid Forest", instead of something cool.


For those who haven't played an evil forest map yet, I highly recommend it.  There's just something really cool about seeing spiderweb clusters in a patch of trees.
