Does the game have a way to prevent identical names?
« on: September 02, 2017, 08:23:03 pm »
I'm just curious, it is possible to have two randomly generated places sharing the same name?
What about creatures?

I've never seen two things with the same name.

If you gen large worlds, you do sometimes get errors about it - but game tries to avoid it if at all possible.

I've had a few forts with dwarves having the same name, but they're usually opposite genders.  Think I had one fort in my 7 years with 2 dwarves of the same gender with the same name which was a little confusing and I had to use Therapist to differentiate between migration waves
