In this fort I'm naming all my soldiers as "WR". Worldgen ended in the year 100. As I make my galleries of statue gardens (sorted by theme - "what happened in my fort", "history", "pantheon"), I came across this:

If you change the nicknames, does the statue update?

... that's really awesome. You have a war vet who's fought against the humans during a siege and survived. I imagine this will  completely change how you view your dwarves... it may actually greatly change how community/succession forts are run now that the dwarves have pre-existing histories and feel more like they're living and breathing. Even if they're a dirty vampire that neither lives nor breathes.

Take for example, my blacksmith. He came to this fort as a skilled axedwarf with 57 animal kills to his name, plus a named giant dingo. Then he got a fey mood and is now my legendary blacksmith, churning out masterwork lead tables and zinc chairs for my dining rooms. The artifact cage from that mood now decorates my hammerer/captain of the guard's office.
