E.g In the string dump there's "Where am I?" Or "This creature is from a mysterious place". I'm not sure where that's used.

[iquare]

"Where am I", if remember correctly, is used by adventurers (and by clowns, if you enable fortress mode conversations in init file) in circus. Not sure about "This creature is from a mysterious place", probably also related to certain spoiler creatures.

"Mysterious Place" could be referring to [DOES_NOT_EXIST] creatures too, brought forcibly into the world.

How do you enable fortress mode conversations in the ini. file? Had no idea this was possible, and would like to check it out!

Edit the announcements.txt to make previously adv-only conversations logged in fort mode, either in general log or reports.. Obviously, at cost to your gamelog length.

I'm pretty sure everything goes in your gamelog.txt regardless of settings.

I would personally use an external viewer, rather than drown out important alerts.

Eh? I'm not sure what you mean, but just checked a month-run fort where that didn't happen, as I didn't enable it.

Others have accepted removing some combat logging to stop sparring from amputating announcements log (which is what I actually meant), but I haven't tested this one.

Myself I like some of the rarely seen wild beast dialogues - I see some of them more often with mods - however there are some that I've never seen and make me wonder what they're used for, if they even are used.

We are besieged by a terrifying monster from the harshest wilderness. - does it relate to beasts from savage biomes?
A savage beast from the thick of the wilds hunts us at will. - probably the same as above.
Creatures grow mighty out in the wildest regions. - again, same as above probably.
At times, creeping things slither out from below ground. - I've seen this one exactly once - it was about a Nuckelavee from underground. Maybe third cavern layer+evil token?
Demons from the underworld must not be permitted to walk freely upon the land. - pretty obvious but I've never seen it, since demons don't walk the surface anymore.
At the end of the world dwell the fiercest beasts of legend. - this one's interesting...seems like it should be used for very far-away creatures or perhaps glacier ones.
A force of evil has arisen in the world. - I've seen this one used in relation to a LARGE_PREDATOR type creature holding some kind of noble position. Though, I once got a quest with this text to kill a prisoner who was of a race that had the same token.
The forces of darkness have descended upon us. - sounds like a siege thing tbh. But it's lumped with all of the other beast texts.
A ferocious unnatural beast has become the bane of our people. - I've seen it used for predatory creatures without the NATURAL token.
Something truly horrifying has vomited itself forth from the depths of the world.
A great monster from the underground is said to have emerged from the darkness.
A vile beast from the caverns now walks the land.
A lurking pest has come up from the underground.
Terrible monstrosities live deep under the ground.
A terror most foul from the evil depths nigh the underworld plagues us.
A vile monster from the bowels of the earth has been preying on our people.
A beast from underground has been assailing us. - all of these seem to be for underground creatures and/or forgotten beasts. I've only seen the "vile monster from the belows of the earth" one though, in relation to a troll.
