Aaand finished the bird-whale. I call it a "Groon"

People should be finishing up their school day soon. While we wait, any bugs people want to point out?

[Poldon]

Purple Tea Bushes currently have a bright purple background that makes them really stick out a bit much (it also turns brown when they die). I generally prefer plants not to have colored backgrounds because they tend to be too noisy, especially when viewed from the layer above. May I ask that they receive a transparent background? If you guys want it that way I'll be okay with it though. Just have to get used to it.

Also loving the Burdle and the Groon.

[WillowLuman]

I can't really make purely aesthetic changes to other people's stuff without consensus or permission, I'm afraid.

Also was amused by the god "Belokh the Black White of Bright". What an interesting and odd combination of words.

Lol, I've I just genned a world and found some somewhat funny names myself. "The Dark Spider-centaur fortress of Oldreaper" in "The Loving Woods", "The Sea of Deserts", "The Red Hill" in "The Blue of Hero", "The Lethal Peaces". I also got two large mountains, one named "The Cursed Mountain", the next called "The Mythic Mountains", which I think contrasts nicely. Plus two small ones right next to each other named "The Pumpkin Mountain" and "The Mountains of Tea". Unlike the last world I genned, there appears to be a few surviving halfling villages.

Edit: My civ options are quite nice too:

The Sons of Appletree (Formic)
The Guardian of Blossom (Halfling)
The Wrong Rump (Halfling)
The Darling Guards (Formic)
The Ugly Lord (Halfling)

[WillowLuman]

Looks like we're still waiting. Bird-seals, anyone?

[WillowLuman]

Zanzetkuken, do you want Dragons to be counted as spirits?

[reemer30]

Go ahead and fix the color problems, that was unintentional, must not have noticed it since I tested in ironhand graphics. Also, I love the idea of bird-seals.

[kero42]

Um, I hate to interrupt the discussions, but its late and I figure I'll forget t post this if I wait until tomorrow. Just a small question regarding Gods.

Sorry about the image size, I cant seem to get the uploader working properly right now. What it should say is that his name is "Unamed formic Worker" and It says
"This nameless being is a deity of the darling guards. the Formic worker most often takes the form of a formic worker and is associated with the night and stars."
 While I find the idea of a nameless god interesting, I wasn't sure of if was a bug or not, so I figured I'd ask. I have the latest raws (well, the one detailed as latest on the front page a few days ago, so I don't have the robes, trolls, or panserblek fix yet.).

Also, I concur about the bird-seals. First large monster insects, now aquatic life spliced with birds (or is it the other way round?)! Gosh, what will you people come up with next?

[WillowLuman]

Never seen nameless gods before, but they're kind of cool. Since the game has a text for them, I suppose they're not an error.

[StLeibowitz]

That's maybe one of the more awesome gods I've heard of in DF. A nameless deity of the night sky - no weird adjective-string, no pretentious and odd mix of nouns; just humble anonymity as it keeps the heavenly wheels turning. A Worker is appropriate for that

If it's a bug I don't think it's one of our causing, unless the language symbol file is a bit impoverished still. Nobody's done a lot of linguistical stuff lately, now that I think of it.

[Timeless Bob]

Aren't formics based on bugs?  So a worker formic would be an intentional bug, yes?

To forestall clarifications, I'd like to clarify that the above statement is made in punnish jest, not anything approaching serious inquiry.  Carry on.

[StLeibowitz]

Dang it. I was hoping to avoid puns Good that it was made, though, that was going to bug me all night otherwise.

[WillowLuman]

StLeibowitz, should shades be classified as corporeal spirits or incorporeal?

[Aseaheru]

I have seen gods called " ", but never nameless. I like it.

[Putnam]

AGH. I'm having ridiculous modder's block. I can't think of anything cool/fun to add...
