The Empress's new clothes?
« on: December 16, 2009, 02:56:58 pm »
Something odd just happened in my current game.

Having struck Adamantine fairly early (42 Dwarves), my Queen arrived, "dressed as a Peasant", with my next bunch of immigrants. No surprise there. What happened next was a bit surprising, though.

While my Immigrants were still crossing the map towards my Fort, all my idlers flooded out to meet them. Greeting the new Queen? Not quite. They were all picking up clothes off the ground. I thought that this was a bit odd, since no-one had been killed recently, so I took a closer look.

It seems that as soon as my Queen entered the map, she took off all of her clothes! She's now running around naked. Her inventory screen shows nothing... not a stitch. She has no possessions listed on her z-status page.

She's not crazy... not by the normal Dwarven definition of the term, at least. She's quite content, not running around babbling or anything. She's just decided to rule in the buff.

Is this "normal"?... normal for a Dwarven Queen, I mean.

If your peasants were allowed to pick up the discarded cloths, the game probably screwed up and generated a queen wearing clothes that didn't belong to her (she's a queen after all. You think she owns rude peasant garb? It's merely a disguise). Upon arrival, she therefore promptly tore off the rags that had formerly made up her disguise and proudly walked into the fort in her birthday suit.

It's possible that your queen isn't a member of your civilization.  This happens due to strange things happening in world gen - you can even end up with a non-dwarf rulers.  DF doesn't handle immigrants who aren't proper civilization members properly, weird stuff like this can happen.

I agree with Urist. Steampunk is like Darth Vader winning Holland's Next Top Model. It would be awesome but not something I'd like in this game.

Unfortunately dying involves the amputation of the entire body from the dwarf.
