Incest in a large world [40d]
« on: October 09, 2008, 08:49:09 am »

I heard about this bug, but I thought it happens only in worlds too small to prevent this. Well... it seems that it doesn't.

Would someone mind drawing out a diagram?  My brain isn't functioning well enough to figure out the relations right now.

I don't think it's enough info for a diagram (at least one that tells us anything)

Perhaps savescumming and going into Legends mode could tell us more about this incestuous family?

There's ALWAYS going to be some incest...
There's still plenty of people who do it IRL...
This is realism, not a bug.

Actually kinda true. Especially in positions of power. (lol princes and princesses marrying)

I think the bug was about the game CRASHING when (large?) incest trees showed up, rather than their existence.

This reminds me: why don't people pass on their names? It's be rather helpful in figuring out family trees.

People should be given a family name first. Right now all they have are titles.

I think it should go like this:
"first name" the "title" of the "family name"

Whether families names are passed down maternally, paternally, or a combination of both could be for the RNG to decide.

This is almost as cool as the message "No one even thought of coming to such a cursed death trap this season."

Are character names unique in DF now? As in, does the game somehow ensure that there are never two guys with the exact same names? If so I could see it being an argument against family names.
