[quote name="Bananadine"][quote name="Arbit"] There's an announcement screen (a). Use this screen to zoom (z) to announcements, such as your "so-and-so has been interrupted by a cave crocodile" announcements.[/quote] I tried that sometimes and it never quite seemed to work. Sometimes z did nothing and sometimes it took me somewhere but I didn't seem to see there what I was supposed to see. Maybe it was working fine, when it did something at least, and the problem was only that the capital-C crocodile blended right in with the C-with-cedilla mechanisms lying around nearby, or with the piles of trash that are supposed to be workshops, or really with anything else the game might ever have shown me (because quite a lot of it looks like piles of trash when you've just zoomed from somewhere and you're in a hurry to find a particular thing whose symbol you have never seen before). Would it kill the guy to put in a little highlighty blinker deal for when you zoom to something. But then again, many times when the game would try to zoom me over to an entering migrant or trader or goblin, it would end up on the wrong level and show me blackness instead. So who knows.[/quote]
