Combine similar emotion phrases in the dwarf description
« on: November 03, 2014, 02:31:17 pm »

Currently when viewing a dwarf's mood you see a separate phrase for each event leading to a lot of spam. Some of these could be combined to make it more readable. For example, Sakzul Ambkinkubuk here was recently separated from 6 loved ones as well as saw 4 rhesus macaques, an alligator, and 3 of her friends die.

This could be reduced to something like:

"She feels sad at being separated from loved ones."

"She didn't feel anything after seeing a number of rhesus macaques and an alligator die, but was horrified at the deaths of Sakzul Roottin, Morul Yoreorbs, and Minkot Searchedropes."

Strongly 'for' this, as its less verbose while maintaining all the info.. I think something similar should be done for the lengthy and repetitive (though deliciously detailed) zombie descriptions.. Seems like it'd be easier to list what is there, instead of everything that's missing :>
