The male elf princess.

I know this is a bug, but it makes me chuckle every time I see it.

That's not a bug, that's an undocumented feature.

And fact.

It isn't a new Dwarf Fortress version until we're made to fear some kind of regular creature.  Carp, Elephants, Unicorns, Badgers, and now Mosquitos.  I've got 5 dorfBucks on the next one being plagues of groundhogs.

Well if you put a male elf in a dress, who can tell?

It's fixed in 31.17. Toady added gender-specific names and positions to the entity RAWs.

So you could make the male princesses be called princes now.

That's the great thing about this forum. We can derail any discussion into any other topic.
It's not an embark so much as seven dwarves having a simultaneous strange mood and going off to build an artifact fortress that menaces with spikes of awesome and hanging rings of death.

Did anyone else read the title as "Legolas"?

All I read was "Pull the lever".

Err... It isn't fixed, and gender-specific names for positions have been part of the raws since 31.1. Being able to change how the positions work doesn't really make it fixed.

Honestly, is anyone surprised by this at all? I know I'm not.
