So inspired by Kruggsmash's excellent Splatterface I have been playing around with my own personal arena tournament in the object testing arena but I wanted to see if there was a way to give created characters names.  I tried doing this with DFHack but in the testing arena it would spit out characters with no names and in basic dwarf fortress mode the created units just stand around like statues.

Any assistance would be appreciated and would making the combat logs far easier to follow than "Swan Man 1" vs "Ant Man 1"

So I recently came back to DF after a long lay off with 44.05 and I just accidentally poked a hole in the massive cavern system.  This has since caused a flood of about 15 monster slayers with seemingly more incoming.  I accepted them all in when they petitioned as I figured hey more people to the slaughter cant hurt but I haven't had a chance to mess with if they are usable to do tasks or if they only run into caverns if they have a path.

Also how many of these suckers am I going to get because it's been ridiculous and made me think maybe it's a bug.  Are they usable for anything like labors or should I just open up a path to the caverns and seal them in for the glory of the empire?

I believe its based on their personality traits and if they have been hardened to battle.  I think you can harden a dwarf to the brutality of battle and get less of the fearful reactions and crying.

Lol yeah me too im more concerned that maybe its a bug.  Anyone else trying out a hot embark running into any issues? 

Are they just hot and hoping a cold coors train comes barrelling across the map to provide girls and refreshment?

It may kill your fps but its a solid way to deal with water and get a waterfall working in your meeting hall

So I just noticed one of my dwarfs is worshipping a deity named...cum !?

Am I controlling a college dorm or a group of dwarves trying to survive lol?  I feel like the dwarves are playing a prank on me or they all are 16 year old humans in disguise.

I just hope that deity never shows up in person.  Is that still a thing in Masterwork reborn?

Hes... coming ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

He better not be!  I run a classy outfit I dont care how friendly he is hes going in the refuse pile if he thinks hes coming to my fortress lol.

Love how ridiculous this game can be sometimes.

Once this fortress fails ill have to check out the legends mode because when the elves first came onto the map a goblin crossbowman shot at one of them with a bolt which was dodge and then after that they were buddies lol.  A very strange set of bandits indeed, I assume their status wont indicate anything different if raised by Gobbos?

So I had an interesting set of circumstances earlier in my fort.  It started with 2 quick raids by goblins who ran in killed all of my pastured livestock and then ran away.  In between raids I had 2 elves with what appeared to be deer come in and trade.  I didn't have a lot in non-wood goods to trade but I made to and they went away.  Nothing was said that made them unhappy and they never spoke to me about further trade agreements which I thought was strange.

Then the 2nd goblin raid came and again they rushed me killed my livestock, saw my drawbridge and ran off.  Just as they were all about to leave another siege starts but this time its 1/2 Goblins and 1/2 Elves.  First off is it normal to get multi-racial sieges?  Secondly WTF happened with the Elves because things were fine and now all of a sudden were at war.  Could my civilization outside of my control caused this drama?

Just curious as its been a bizarre turn of events. Now they mope around outside my fortress while I happily live fat on plump helmets and slowly train a small squad of Axemen & Axeladies.
