| Summary | 0000957: Invading trolls arrive with civilian professions | ||||
| Description | I had a goblin siege arrive which had a group of trolls. Some of the trolls are just plain "Troll"s, but I also see: * Troll Blacksmith * Troll Craftsman * Troll Bone Carver * Troll Fisherman * Troll Bone Doctor which seems a little odd. Presumably they are being named based on skills, as goblins are - but why are they getting civilian skills? | ||||

A save showing this (after the siege arrived) is at http://s3test.randomly.org/df/957/region6-aut-54_civilian-trolls.zip |

This is brilliant, I'm being attacked by a Troll Clerk and a Troll Surgeon. |
|
|
Isn't this a feature? (Well... perhaps troll shouldn't get some professions, like armorer and woodcuter, but I like that they can be woodcutters and fish dissectors. Adds a bit of flavour and tell you the're not just monsters, they're people too! :)) |

I would only call it a bug if the troll medic suddenly, after they had beaten you half dead, would carry you to a hospital zone and treat your wounds :D |
|
|
I also got this bug with v0.31.03. I uploaded a movie of it : http://mkv25.net/dfma/movie-2146-bug03103invadingtrollswithprofession |

Same thing happens (happened?) with tamed tigermen brought by elf caravans. |
|
|
I also am noticing that in statues and kill lists they're being shown a bit oddly (I presume the same would go for engravings and figurines, though I haven't seen one show up yet). In kill lists, each one is listed as "the Troll" (which is itself merely verbally awkward in that context, but indicative of something a bit off overall). In a statue made recently, it was as follows: +gabbro statue+ This is a superior quality gabbro statue. The item is a superiorly designed image of the troll and "Selena" Pagedpelts the White Jaw of Seals in gabbro by "Flask" Avuzam. Is making a plaintive gesture. "Selena" Pagedpelts the White Jaw of Seals is striking a menacing pose. The artwork relates to the mortal wounding of the troll by the dwarf "Selena" Pagedpelts the White Jaw of Seals with a steel battle axe in Blackspire in the midspring of 1057 during Kok Snos' "The Assault of Rampage." Really cool statue, but clearly it's hitting something of a hitch with trolls in this regard. (Just in case it comes up in mind, the "Is making a plaintive gesture." part is not a transcribing mistake on my part -- that is indeed how it shows up in-game.) |

They don't have any proper names. That happens if you don't give them the CAN_SPEAK token in the raws. The problem is that if you give them the CAN_SPEAK token, then they send caravans to trade with you unless you make them either thieves (like kobolds) or child-snatchers (like goblins). This happened also in 40d. |
|
|
"Is <foo>ing <foo>." descriptions are reported as 0004971 |
|
|
Kogut: however, invading trolls no longer generate "Is <foo>ing <foo>." events because they all have names as of version 0.31. |
