Forum:Thosugris of Aithosogul?

< Forum:Watercooler

I was playing a normal game of 3.6.1 and I found Orcish Town. I fought some orcs and I found a corpse of an orc. It populated as "a hill orc corpse named Thosugris of Aithosogul".

Why is this?

It must have been 3.6.2-dev, not 3.6.1, since this is a new feature introduced in the upcoming dev version (and not documented anywhere on the wiki yet that I know of). Orcish Town orcs will all be given an orc name and an orc tribe name, and some of them will be turfed down to lower Mines levels, carrying some minor loot. Most of the named orcs stick around in Orctown, though. This is just one of those orcs. --Phol ende wodan (talk) 17:27, 23 October 2018 (UTC)

The names are procedurally generated. See this commit, particularly christen_orc() and rndorcname() ——Kufat (talk) 02:11, 24 October 2018 (UTC)

Post the best orcish procname you've found. We need something to talk about, without being able to create new topics. --Testbutt (talk) 06:41, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
