You guys haven't really bothered to look hard enough. Though I'm not sure where everything are... In data file there are dibscript folder which are probably the pop up messages and diplomat conversations in fortress mode and in same data folder there is folder named speech which is probably for adventure mode.

A lot of the text in the game is hard coded.  I know that some people have translated parts of the game.  Try checking the Modding forum, that's where people who change the game data around (which is what you're trying to do) hang out.

Ye know, being an usurper overseer gone mad with power isn't too bad. It's honestly not that different from being a normal overseer.
To summarize:
They do an epic face. If that fails, they beat said object to death with their beard.

Iv seen people who haven't had a redheaded person in their family for quite a while, and then out of nowhere two out of three of their children have red hair.
