Unless I've missed something, I'd love to see an "restart map" option. I spent a good 10 mins setting up my dwarves, pressed the space bar, only to have my hunter leap at the nearest carp 8 spaces away and sustain mortal wounds, staining the bubbling spring with dwarf chunks.
Now I've got to set it all up again :( *And* it was a good spot.
I know I can back up the save file but I really wasn't expecting to have things go so wrong so early :D
-
There's an option in the init.txt to make a backup save as soon as you arrive on the site. That should cover your needs, yes?
-
Unfortunately, there is no way to save your hunter. However, in the future, you can avoid such dangers by going into the init file and turning on the autosave options and the autobackup option. With these options on, the game will save and back up the game as soon as it starts up, for just this sort of thing.
My advice for this game is, go with it. See if you can make it with vicious schools of carp and no hunter, because after all, loosing is FUN!
-
Yeah I gotta say that this game is all about rolling with the punches and possibly flailing around wildly with those punches to produce some hilarious results. All the best stories on the forums are of people in a similar situation of disaster.
-
As the game plays, it constantly modifies the entire world. There is no way to have a 'reset' without save copying the entire world.
-
There is a 'reset' button. It's just labeled 'reclaim'. :D

Thank you for the suggestions - I didn't know about the init/autosave function :)
And yes, losing is fun, and I got a story out of it (which is the point!)
Cheers :)
