Weird results with random name gens?
« on: October 14, 2011, 08:30:08 am »

I just genned a new world, myself, so I checked the historical figures and found some odd ones, like

redundancy fail


There was also one called "a male woman husband of evil"

I think "a male woman husband of evil" might imply "an evil creature who converted a woman, and that woman converted a man".  Interesting though :P

It's just a night creature, and night creatures' castes are named in a special way.

In this case, the night creature's "main" caste is female and is named "woman of evil", so the male "converted" caste just inserts "husband" or "groom" into it, resulting in "woman husband of evil" for this one in particular. In Legends mode, it always indicates the creature's gender explicitly, which results in a bit of redundancy here.

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

Oh god.

You have Justin Beiber in your world. "I'm from Canada!"

Go in adventure mode, sever its head, and run around showing it off. Then fight off the goblins teenage girls that ambush you.

Wanna know what's fun?  In adventure mode, slay a creature, butcher it, and beat enemies to death with its skull.  I severed a minotaur head in combat and beat things with it.  Incredibly satisfying.
