Tribal and Federation icons added to the end. Both used modified fundamentalism background, with my own work for the foreground.

Mm, seems a bit generic to me.GriffonSpade wrote:Also, playing with a thesaurus, I think 'outpost' would probably be the best name for what's currently 'fort' (The protofortress). It's a common English word with a clear, proper meaning.

The second one particularly seems likely to confuse experienced players so soon after removing F=fortifying/fortress.
I thought camp or encampment at first too, but that's something soldiers set up every night and break down every morning before marching, isn't it?JTN wrote:Mm, seems a bit generic to me.GriffonSpade wrote:Also, playing with a thesaurus, I think 'outpost' would probably be the best name for what's currently 'fort' (The protofortress).

How about "Camp"?
(For tilesets I think we can still change this before 2.5.0, as fort graphics were added since 2.5.0-beta2 so probably no rulesets are using them yet.)
Yes, these definitely make a difference in usability. Will you handle them? Schedule before RC1 might be too tight for me.JTN wrote:I'm inclined to put these in 2.5.0 to replace what we already have.
