Usage

Legendary beings, such as the tentacle demons of yore or some of their modern counterparts, associated with the spheres of jealousy or thralldom will have words from this symbol in their name.

Most cultures, except goblins, won't use words from this symbol in their names.

SYMBOL:SUBORDINATE

This is the [SYMBOL:SUBORDINATE] section of the language_SYM.txt raw file. The file defines categories of words, for use with [SELECT_SYMBOL] and [CULL_SYMBOL] arguments in the corresponding entity file to create various pool of words available for procedural generation of game content (for example, Dwarf names). See Language#language_SYM.txt and Entity_token for more details.

Examples

  • [SELECT_SYMBOL:SUBORDINATE]
  • [CULL_SYMBOL:SUBORDINATE]

Accented characters

The language files are saved in code page 437 encoding. The accented characters in the language files look like nonsense when interpreted as ASCII or ISO 8859-1, which are often the default. On Windows, viewing the language file with the Terminal font is an easy way to see it correctly.
