Necromancers age wrong
« on: March 19, 2020, 09:41:53 am »
Hi,
Two necromancer just arrived in my fortress with a migration wave.
There is something strange, the age given by the game is not correct.
Example, this one is born in year 6, we are currently at year 251, yet the game says she's only 87 years old. But she was born 245 years ago! That is very weird.


The other necromancer has the same "problem". He's born in year 9, so younger then the other and he's supposedly older, 138 years old, which is still far from 242 years old...

Necromancers intentionally lie about their age... but iirc they're supposed to lie about their birthday also, so this is likely a bug.

Adding to Sver's answer, necros cease to age at the time they learn the secret, which locks their apparent age. And yes, showing the true time of birth is likely a bug.

Maybe that's just how old they were when they became a necromancer?
