Easter Eggs
« on: December 13, 2008, 03:00:21 pm »
I found a some easter eggs in adventure mode. Basically, if you check certain things when you're dead you get special messages.

W(Weather) : "There is no sunlight when you are dead"
D(Date/Time): "You've lost track of time since your death"
P(Temperature): "Being dead is cold and clammy"

I wonder how long these have been in the game for?

Not sure if their easter eggs or not, but they are funny. ;)

First time I found them was back in one of the July '08 releases... then again, that was the first time I played DF... and I'm not so sure - it may or may not have been implemented then. :P

I have bad memory. XP

I figured demons came from the 50 or so years of inbreeding between the things, like some weird goblin evolution.
I now have justification for genocide. Thank you.

Yes those were there for a long time.

There's only a few known easter eggs, all of them in the wiki.

Here you go.

Bear in mind there may be more.

The link said it would spoil stuff for you.  Now that experience is ruined  :'(

I here about people's first, surprise encounters with those, and I sigh and wish I hadn't seen it coming the first time I encountered it.

Alternately: The Brick Testament. It's a really fun look at what the bible would look like if interpreted literally. With Legos.
Just so I remember

Well, I don't play in DF mode very often (that's why my mod wasn't heavily geared/tested in that mode). I think I might start one up again though...

You can check the main import and export goods in the civilization screen in Fortress Mode.
If you're hostile with the Kobolds and/or the Goblins (which is most likely the case), these "goods" are pretty funny. This should count as an easter egg, too.
I have no idea what the screen shows if you're at war with the elves or the humans. Someone could check this?

Yeah, that should be on the easter egg list.  My brother has been playing longer than I have and he only noticed that a couple of weeks ago.  I had to point it out to him.

Hmm... There must be more easter eggs than just on that list. I'll change the title of the thread in order to root out some more.
