Fluctuating Subtitle[edit]
When starting up the game, on the Title Screen where the player first chooses what to do, the top reads:

Chapter 2: Dwarf Fortress Histories of ... |
'...' will be generated randomly each time the game is opened. The first word will always be one of the seven sins, while the second will generally be a synonym of "stubbornness", which as we all know fit the hairy little blighters like a Cave spider silk glove.
| Sin | "Stubbornness"-themed words |
| Avarice | Determination |
| Cupidity | Diligence |
| Gluttony | Dynamism |
| Greed | Enterprise |
| Jealousy | Exertion |
| Industry | |
| Labor | |
| Mettle | |
| Perseverance | |
| Resourcefulness | |
| Tenacity | |

You have pressed the help key many times. You only need to press the help key once, no matter how urgent your problem may seem at the time. Press ESC to go back to the previous screen. Despite my promise to have the help key work on any screen, it doesn't work on this screen. |
