Named creatures.
« on: September 08, 2008, 12:05:24 pm »

This is odd, every creature on the surface of my map just got named by my dwarves, one after another. Cave swallowman, cave swallowman, gremlin, couple more cave swallowmen. None of them have actually killed anything, the swallowmen have been stuck in midair for almost a year now, and the gremlin is on a tiny ledge eight or so Z levels down the side of the chasm.

I think sentient creatures (-men) will get named after a year or so. Just think of it as getting to know the neighbours.
Occasionally, the dwarfs will name inhabitants of undiscovered features (like batman in an underground cavern), unless that's been fixed.

Oh, if that's true then yeah, the time frame just about fits, that must be it then. First time I've been on a chasm map so it was a little surprising seeing all the stuff scroll past.
