Urist has created a masterpiece *item*

This would be a simple change; simply add the type of item created to the announcement.

Seconded.  I'd like to know if I got a masterpiece breastplate to finish my set!

Doesn't it already do this?

Urist McMoody has created Simsalabim, the artifact spear.

I thought it did, anyways.

Edit: Strike that, I know it does cause I've had artifacts made and refused to use "l" to look at them because I knew it was YET ANOTHER adamantine sock.

That's for artifacts, the suggestion is for masterpieces, which are a step down.  Currently the only masterpieces that are specified are engravings.

AH! My mistake in not reading carefully enough!

Yes, I think at least the skill should be specified.  I have dwarves doing all kinds of things they're not technically skilled for in my current fort and I keep being told "Urist McMason, Miner, has created a masterpiece!" when they're making tables out of wood or something.... gotta zoom in to see what they did.

I would love to have this.  It's been so long that I don't remember whether I suggested it or just thought about suggesting it, but either way, I like the idea.

You could have berries on the rocks and the dwarves would say it was "berry gneiss."
You should die horribly for this. And I mean that in the nicest possible way.

I don't know, I like the surprise.

...

And the (Usually) disappointment.

Could always edit announcements.txt and disable the announcement entirely.

I usually have enough of them that I can't really find it.  So it would be really nice to know what sort of masterpieces we're getting.

A bed is a lot better than a quern, after all.

It would also be great if these messages could be condensed (like milk). Yes, Urist McEngraver, I know you just engraved a masterpiece - 300 of them in a row, in fact, so please stop bragging about it.
