HUH HUH HUH here come the human traders! Does anybody else giggle when they see the "HUH HUH HUH" human traders coming?

[Garath]

they didn't always come with horses, so no, not me

Can you illuminate us why the letter combination of "HUH" (which is used as a form of question, such as "Huh? What's that?") seems so funny to you?

[dexxy]

Ah you must use a tile set. If you used the ASCII graphics, you'd see that a wagon has two horses and a human on the front, which looks like HUH. If there is a row of wagons it goes HUH HUH HUH HUH.

I use ASCII graphics, and I don't see the words HUH HUH HUH when the Human caravans arrive.  In fact, I don't see any words on the map part of the screen.  I see people, animals, and things represented by letters, numbers, and miscellaneous symbols.

I use ASCII. I just don't understand what is so funny about HUH HUH HUH.

Now if goblin invasions looked like HO HO HO that'd be funny.

There's also the fact that there are 3 types of domestic wagon pullers - Horses, Water buffalo, and Yaks. If the Human civ is close to an appropriate temperate grassland, then they may also have Muskoxen. Thus, you're equally likely to get "WUW", "YUY", or "MUM" instead of "HUH".

Also, what slink said - if you're playing with ASCII graphics, you see the creatures, not the letters. "I don't even see the code. All I see is Dwarf, Elephant... Rhesus macaque".
