Utilities and 3rd Party Applications / DFHack script: patrilineal/matrilineal surname inheritance
« on: November 18, 2021, 07:38:29 pm »
Not thoroughly tested. WIP. Make backup of your save before use!
Meaningful surnames might help you keep track of who is related to who.
This script reassigns surnames of all your alive fortress dwarves according to patrilineal or matrilineal inheritance rules.
For each dwarf it founds his greatest patrilineal/matrilineal line ancestor and copies his/her surname.
Optionally every dwarf gets surname of her/his spouse.
It also modifies surnames for every ancestor in line, even if they are not present in your fort.
Example result for "surnames -patrilineal -inherit_parents -inherit_spouse":
In one fort I got two major clans with like ~20 dwarves in them.
Before doing anything you can also check number of descendants with common greatest ancestor using -list option.
