Did you view the Liason? They are title by their civilian jobs instead of their civilization title. But they still hold the title, which shows if you [v]iew them.

Not sure if being called by their civilian job is as intended, though.

I've gotten goblins and hammerdwarves as liaisons in this version.

In fact, in one game, my entire ruling class were goblins.

"The human Fish Cleaner Ganuh Spibsashessat from Behal Alat has arrived."

This is 31.12, and contrary to what Dwarfu says, [v] indicates that he's a Fish Cleaner.

swuboo, 31.12 had this in the release notes, which wasn't the original problem, though that has also been fixed:

"If your old fort has a dead liaison, your replacement liaison will be named after one of the standard professions most likely, but they should still perform their job."

Anyone still seeing diplomats announced in this way?

My first liaison just arrived at my new fort, generated with 31.19:
"The Fisherdwarf Melbil Domasnish from Lor Duthal has arrived."
"A caravan from Lor Duthal has arrived."

He is listed, however, as "Melbil Domasnish, outpost liaison."

Ok, thanks for the update, I thought it may have been changed/fixed instead of announcing the profession. May be intentional now.

Got this in 0.34.11: "The Fisherdwarf Erush Oslanabsam from Regasen has arrived." [v] says he's a Fisherdwarf, [k] says he's an outpost liaison.

When I saw the arrival message I thought: oh, some migrants? Didn't I get some already this season? IMO it should always say "The outpost liaison from Somewhere has arrived" since he's not arriving *as a fisherdwarf*, but as a liaison.

Not sure if this is related, but in 34.11 if you [F]ollow the diplomat as they're leaving, the job name at the bottom changes to a civilian job (I have seen Fisherdwarf once or twice)
The announcements I get usually say "A liaison from (somewhere) has arrived" or something similar... I've never seen a name announced for a diplomat, but that could just be a side effect of some of my worldgen habits.

The liaison seems to be being announced properly upon arrival, both in the announcement list and by [v]iewing them [k] looking around, despite what their profession is shown as in the civ list.

Anyone seen otherwise in the 40.xx series?

I'm marking this as fixed as of 40.04 and adding it to the change log, but if it is found that it happened earlier, we can change it. Also, if the diplomat is being handled differently than the liaison, that'll need to be looked at as well.

I'm sure this still happens, but I can't get it to happen. I'll need a save before the arrival announcement that reproduces reliably -- if it is after the announcement, I won't be able to use it.
