Baby animal names
« on: March 05, 2008, 07:14:00 pm »

They are capitalized in the embark screen even though their respective parents have lower-case names. I have "elk" and "Elk fawn" for example. Not really a major thing but whatever  :D

Yeah I noticed that. Annoying.

Not just on the embark screen, but in fortress mode (and, presumably, adv mode, though I rarely/never play that) as well. I keep forgetting to report it, though I actually kind of like it as it's an easy way to tell at a glance which of those caged animals are adult or child: (adult) "horse" or "Horse foal", (adult) "cow" or "Cow calf", etc.

This is Bug 388.  I'll get to it at some point.
