Two inthredable Dwarfes
« on: April 12, 2013, 05:54:41 pm »

Hello all Slaves of Armok!  ;D

I Just encountered something odd while drafting two replenishments for the glorious "Creative Helms".

Therapist showed me two dwarfes with decent fighting skills, without Nickname who didnīt belong to a squad.
I asigned them names (aaaaaaaa) for easy picking and went to the (m)ilitary menu, but there where not to be found there.

Thinking of the vampire-nickname-therapist bug, all urists gained the nickname "peas" and i looked ingame for
two unnamed dwarfs, which i canīt find. I searched the (u)nits- and (m)ilitary menu but they just donīt appear.
Also checked the Death/Missing page.

And Mantis states the bug fixed. http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/print_bug_page.php?bug_id=5140

Does anybody know how this could be happening?

is it possible that you have stealthed dwarven necromancers / caged dwarven necromancers on your map? Sometimes therapist picks them up...

There was no tower mentionend at neighbours when embarking, and i only have two cagetraps,
down where the access to the caverns is.

Animal stockpile only hosts the usual crundles (there should also be a FB, but I learned that
hatch covers donīt provide protection against flying building destroyers^^).

But not quite sure what you mean by stealthed necromancers, didnīt have to deal with these guys
since they have appeared in df.

Some necromancers enter your map sneaking/stealthed - they are invisible and can raise corpses invisible, only to be found (like am ambush) if a dwarf/dog/cat/unsuspecting fool wanders too near.

Not what what your problem could be, I'm afraid.

They could be very, very recent immigrants. As soon as you get the 'Some immigrants have arrived!' message, Therapist picks them up as being in your fortress, but the game ca'n't see them until they enter the map, which they do one at a time, about five steps apart from each other.

Wait for the migrants to finish coming on to the map and your guys should be on the list.

Seems there were two traders loitering at the edge of the map, but a minotaur fixed that problem :)

Seems that bug is still around, but I never heard sbout them showing up in Therapist.
