Is it my imagination or fact that dvarves will lose some of attributes with age? I see in Runesmith that one of my dwarves have strength attribute constantly decreasing, point by point. I wonder what is the cause of it... [[User:Elfy|Elfy]] 17:50, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Got a migrant child just now who is "two years old, born on the 7th of Felsite, 1058". Only problem is it's currently 18th Hematite, <b>1057</b>.
