Hidden fun stuff- DISCOVERED!
« on: March 11, 2007, 07:42:00 pm »

I was curious what would happen if I continually scrolled left off the fortress map. It took awhile, but I finally found THIS little gem:

Don't believe me? Try for yourself. Just keep scrolling left off the normal fortress map. It will take awhile, but it will show up eventually.

Not new at all; there's other messages as well - like when you scroll right.  :)

You know, I was assuming that was the case, but gave up after about a minute of scrolling and minimized Dwarf Fortress to do other stuff. I read this, open it back up, tap the right arrow once and it shows up... I stopped that close to the message.

Great messages by the way.

If you go way to the right it says something like:
While you are traveling to the center of the earth, watch for the death messages of the dwarves you are neglecting.

It's not exactly that, but its something like that  :), scroll far right to see it. Been a while since I did it.

code:
As you journy to the
center of the world,
feel free to read the
death announcements
of those dwarves that
suffer your neglect.

its already in the game.  the manager gives you a snide comment if you order it made before the dungeonmaster shows up.  it might even be the same comment.
