[FORT_TEXT:---.txt]

This would be the tag that references what text is displayed when an outpost is started in Fort mode instead of the hard-coded Dwarf-specific text. Say, you embark as Goblins, you could specify the following text in a file called gob.txt:

Quote
After an arduous trek through the wilds, all the way from the homelands, you've arrived! With little supplies left and only [n]* goblins under your command, it's time to make a settlement worthy of [civ's capital name]! It is spring now-time enough to create shelter, before the [predator animals] get hungry! For greed, for viciousness, for Glory!

Other specifiable texts could also do away with the hard-coded, Dwarf-specific stuff. I feel that this would pave the way towards more fort-mode races and less weirdness.

* [n] implies that you could embark with more or less folk in a future update. t'wouldn't that be neat

This is what I've wanted since I started modding. Seems easy to implement, and an easy way to give flavor to custom races.
