It'd be interesting to see dwarves take one part of the compound name from one parent, and one part from the other.

I imagine players locking Bombreck Gripboats and Urist Steelbodice in a room, chuckling merrily.

Bismark Steelboats!

I suppose this is the sort of day that doesn't usually get a dev log.

Not at all. Glad to get these daily updates about where you're at. It keeps me interested and endlessly fascinated by the process.

Absolutely.  I check the dev log at least once a day, and even a tiny somewhat unexciting post is better than nothing.

So bravo for the unexciting dev log!

Actually, I thought this was pretty interesting, because getting people's professions to line up to their shops is something I genuinely wouldn't have thought of as a speedbump unless I hit it when programming myself.

So does this mean you're not going to be able to walk into a shop, see a row of corpses hanging on the wall, and be told "Welcome to my wonderful toystore"?

[tfaal]

I'm sure it'll be rife with bugs, so I wouldn't dismiss the possibility.

todays devlog:

...an elf bone carver running a bone craft shop. I guess the forest got knocked all the way out of that one.

hehe.. reformed elves.

Good to hear that urban elves aren't as pansy as their wild kin.

You seen Legends mode right? They are anything but a pansy.

[Untelligent]

Pfft, they only mercilessly devour their foes because it's some nature thing and they don't want to waste their kills. If they were truly badass they'd do it because they were bored and/or hungry.

They they will devour creatures made of metal or who are otherwise poisonous... WHOLE!

Or read ThreeToe's stories, for that matter.

This brings up an interesting question; if elves are going to start being able to trade for metal armor and weapons... aren't they going to just steamroll everybody in worldgen? 

[monk12]

Will trade embargoes be handled at some point in the Caravan Arc?

As it makes sense for two civs who were recently at war and will likely war again to avoid shipping one another weapons.

I love how in dwarf fortress you can buy weapons from elves and then turn around and murder them with it. Always annoyed me that NPCs tend to be invulnerable.

i think they generally confine their attacks to their native forests. and i think they use wooden weapons because of ethical reasons
