Custom Announcement/Quest Text
« on: November 09, 2017, 10:42:34 am »

Very minor "for flavor" suggestion, but I think it would be a handy addition to modders to have tokens that allow for custom "announcements" for sieges - so instead of the general "A vile force of darkness has arrived!" or "The enemy have come and are laying siege to the fortress." the text could be more personalized, depending on the civilization in question.

Similar text could be used for megabeasts, so instead of "The megabeast X has come!" followed by their description, it also could be more personalized.

A similar token would be available for powerful non-megabeast creatures (something like cave dragons in vanilla) - it'd help to warn players when such a creature walks onto the map and starts pathing towards the fortress.

As for quest text, what I mean is stuff like "Vanquishing a great beast on our behalf would bring us all much glory." in vanilla.
This would be a minor change, but again it'd let players to have personalized text for the creature in question - so for example, for a mechanical beast you could write something like "A rampaging construct has brought terror to our doorstep." - with the token unused, it'd just use the regular vanilla texts.

Thoughts?
