Summary

0005222: Adventure mode is generating duplicate historical figures

Description

I noticed this when one adventurer acquired two peasants as travelling companions. Both had the same name, same birth date and identical equipment. I retired the adventurer and started several more in an attempt to reproduce the bug. Although none of my subsequent adventurers lasted long enough to acquire companions, I did notice the same names crop up over and over again in the legends.

Steps To Reproduce

Start an adventurer, go to the nearest major city, explore the dungeons.

or

Start an adventurer, gain a reputation, recruit peasants.

Additional Information

For example, I now have three entries for Thram Paddlegrasp.

Thram Paddlegrasp was born in 93, became an enemy of my adventurer's civ in later summer 125 and was struck down by my adventurer.

Thram Paddlegrasp (number two) was born in 93, became an enemy of my adventurer's civ in early autumn 125 and has one kill to her name (a different adventurer).

Thram Paddlegrasp (number three) was born in 93, became an enemy of my adventurer's civ in early autumn 125 and has no kills to her name.

The duplicate enemies were generated in different play sessions. However the duplicate companions were recruited just a couple of minutes apart in the same session.
