Summary0002831: Human/elf diplomat uses Mountainhomes dialogue
DescriptionFor the first time in 31.x I have gotten diplomats from the Elves and the Humans. I don't know yet what the Elven one had to say because he fairly quickly left unhappy, but the Human one said:

"I am your liaison from the Mountainhomes. Let's discuss your situation."

This was followed by the usual comment about how you've carved a nice place out for yourself, then the conversation ended with

"I look forward to our meeting next year. Our fortunes rise and fall together."

Nothing is ever discussed about trade agreements.

Edit: Then he left via the caverns!?

Are you sure the human liaison was actually from a human civ, and not a human who grew up in the dwarven civ? The fastest way to check might be to backup the save, abandon the fortress and look him/her up in Legends.

Yes, I am certain. This is from the gamelog.

The human Engraver Nitho Gasinronik from Mong Wisho has arrived.
A human caravan from Mong Wisho has arrived.

Yeah, they should use the regular diplomat script but they are using the dwarf one instead. They aren't trade representatives, so they just do the boring war/peace type stuff (as with the old human diplomat). The trade nobility for humans has not been reconstructed.

The elf diplomat I got today used the dwarven greeting but then went on to demand I limit my tree-cutting (on a map with no trees), so that part seems to be working.

I've experienced the same issue. The human and elf diplomats appear and start the dialogue with the usual dwarven greetings, but then act like you'd expect them to (the elf demands a limit of tree-cutting, the human commented on how it was a "nice little place you've carved out for yourself").

It should be noted that this only occurs for diplomats that arrive at the same time as the caravans - once you get a Baron, the Human civilization will send a real Diplomat (even labeled as a "diplomat" in the arrival announcement rather than with its profession) who will use the correct introduction ("Greetings, noble dwarf. There is much to discuss.") and parting text ("It has been an honor, noble [dwarfname]. I bid you farewell."). Of course, due to 0002892, that diplomat will never come back.

Reminder sent to: Toady One

I stickied this one, only because you mentioned you'd fix it in this release:

http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=62368.msg1430785#msg1430785 [^]

It isn't a major deal, but people (especially new people) are confusing diplomats and liaisons.

This should be handled for 0.31.13.
