More options for announcement
« on: October 29, 2010, 12:00:16 am »

The reason I wish for this is for more detailed control over information and game flow. I personally like to let dwarf fortress run on the background and only check back every so often, thus it'd be very nice if it timely pause when certain stuff happen. Here are the 2 critical changes I'd like to see include in announcement.txt:

1) Interrupted by creature has its seperate entry.
2) An new entry which broadcast whenever a predetermined amount of dwarves has gone idle for a bit. Keeping eye on the Idler:X window is an option but not when I'm occupied with Human Life or otherwise too transfixed on an event else where i.e. siege.

The various stages in the trade process could use the ability to be paused too.
