You may be looking for Dwarf fortress mode.

Dwarves live in fortresses — usually underground complexes with all the required buildings for dwarven living.

Denomination

Fortresses are named in a specific manner. The name is usually assigned at random, but can be set at embark time. They also gain a title according their population. This title is viewable in the upper left of the z screen, in front of the fortress name.

The title is conferred to a number of administrators, e.g. the Manager might first be called an Outpost Manager and later on a City Manager. Others, like the Clerk have special titles based on the fortress title, e.g. Hoardmaster in a City.

In addition, the fort may be the home of monarchs of the surrounding land and gain an additional title.
