[Urist Imiknorris]

If FailCannon is a possible fort name, I suggest we use that.

[BlackRogue]

I like the sound of FailCannon.

[Robocorn]

Cannon unfortunately isn't in the Dwarf-tionary

[Lucus Casius]

So mod it in.

[cappstv]

But why stop there! Lets mod in some bug spray!

[Urist Imiknorris]

...No. What would the bug spray be used for? Stuzang? We'd need to drown him in it. And modding in "cannon" as a word would almost certainly require a regen.

[Robocorn]

We just need to replace a word in the raws with it, what's a word you never hear used?

[Urist Imiknorris]

Here? "Works."

[Robocorn]

Here? "Works."

at least without negator.

anyway, I'm going to replace OAR with CANNON because oars don't even exist.
tally ho

Works, if your not ashamed of having a fortress that in it's coding is named failoar.

[Urist Imiknorris]

Wait, wouldn't that change our queen's name to Led Shakecannons?

...On second thought, do it.

[SethCreiyd]

Hell yes.  Failcannon here we come.  Led's name only changes in translation, her name should stay the same in "Humanish" language.

Spoiler: From Wikipedia, another stonefly pic. (click to show/hide)

Stuzang must have been a horrible last sight.

To continue melkorp's tie-in continuity, I've borrowed his crossover mechanic, so if anyone is interested, the misadventures of Creiydrek continue on in Cavebrands.

[Urist Imiknorris]

How would this happen? The only way I see this being possible is changing OAR to CANNON in language_words and updating the respective entries in the DWARF, HUMAN, GOBLIN, and ELF language_ files (so there isn't a translation for a word that doesn't exist), in which case Led's name would change.

Change POISON. That way all the Stozus of the world will remind us of our purpose and our predecessors.

[Urist Imiknorris]

Okay, please ignore me and my not-good-at-modding-creatures-or-words-ness.

We still have the nonissue of Mrs. Shakecannons.

[Robocorn]

already did that Seth, but thanks for the tip.

 I'll post it and leave it if nobody wants any other non major mods. I'm going to give nickel silver an obscene modifier because there is no longer any way to produce it.
