[40d] Blank jump-to-event announcement
« on: September 18, 2008, 05:12:22 pm »


The game pauses and zooms to the lower-left highest extent of the map. There is no announcement and nothing there.

A few days\weeks later, Elves. About 50 of them, from ambush, riding horses. Very clever that they can sneak around a rock mountain on horseback (CLOP CLOP CLIPPITY CLOP) but my hammerdwarves discontinue them like new coke.

They're attacking me because I seized their stupid crap in year 102. Is it possible that the blank announcement was what would have been the "Elves have come to litter your map with worthless wooden armor and weapons" announcement, and it was blank because they were ambushing?

This happened in my last fort as well, but I hadn't been killing the elves. It was Goblins that showed up instead.

FWIW, this fits exactly with what the wiki says about Elven Sieges. This, of course, is not the Word of Toady One, but it is what people have been experiencing.
