I can steal artifacts in Fortress mode from EVERYWHERE  :D
So I'll make a Collection :)

You can do it in adv mode too.

And you can use comprehensive artifact hunting in either mode to get sets of completely indestructible artifact weapons and armor. And then you can reassign most of your armorsmiths to slave away in the depths with an artifact pickaxe.

Noticed something interesting regarding enemy morale. Was traveling near a Dark Fortress and they sent a patrol to harass me, entire group consisting of recruits and a few weapon holders. I killed the weapon guys, and just stood there to see if the Recruits could even hit me. All 15 of them surrounded me and started flailing away to no avail. But then oddly after a good while, they all suddenly panicked and ran away.

I guess all those misses add up to make it discouraging to continue

I found that stomping on the face of one of my enemies (dwarves as I recall, maybe modded) repeatedly caused the rest of them to stop beating up my drunk companion and run away. Coincidence maybe, but for a moment it seemed like morale was working just fine.  :)

If you check the time, weather, or temperature after dying you get unique messages in Adventure Mode.

You can steal anything by wrestling. In other words, free armor.

You are sometimes able to hear certain distinctive sounds made by animals in the wild. (Capybaras barking, for example.) Not entirely sure what animal whistles, though....

Capybaras whistle.

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

A wizard has turned you into a wagon. This was inevitable (Y/y)?

Capybaras whistle.

Keas produce the message "You hear a low boom," that being the name of the sound they produce.

Actually, kakapos produce that sound, not keas. They also produce "metallic chings," for some reason. Are... are kakapos robots?

And apparently capybaras whistle, grunt, purr, and click when at peace and only bark when alert.

You can eat food in stores without being considered a thief.
