Dungeon Keeper Fun Stuff

Your Mentor says the strangest things:
Very rarely, your Mentor will say something totally bizarre and off-the-wall.    For example, Once, while playing the "Moonbrush Wood" Realm, The Mentor said "Your minions have a craving for chocolate".  I have never been able to duplicate this message.  I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but I was laying Hatchery tiles at the time.

Other things your Mentor says include:

• "Your creatures are developing a strange accent." (This is said in a phony French accent)
• "Hello."
• "My God, It's full of pies."
• "Something surreal is happening."
• "There's that smell again."
• "Your pants are definitely too tight."

During the first day of the Full Moon, a little poem or saying appears when you start the game.  They're really quite cool.  Some examples are:

• "When night does not give way to day, and children are to scared to play, abandon hope, embrace despair, you're destined for my Dragon's Lair"
• "Giant, Dwarf, Thief, and Fairy.   None of you are very scary.",
• "Evil, malice, death, decay.  I think you'll find they're here to stay."
• "Evil, malice, death, decay.  Just another working day"

During certain days of the year, a birthday greeting will be displayed when you start the game.  The names that can appear are those for the design team for Dungeon Keeper.

If you drop gold into the temple pool, you get the message, "This is no wishing well, Keeper".

I nosed around in Dungeon Keeper's Speech data file, and found all sorts of verbalization that wasn't used in the final game (probably because it would get too annoying after awhile.).  Some of this included verbal notice when you picked up new spells, doors, or Trap designs  (as opposed to researching them).  Another interesting bit was "What trickery is this?  The Avatar's body has vanished!" (I imagine that this sound would have played when the Avatar was resurrected in Skybird Trill).

If you look carefully at the corpses of Samurai in the game, you will see that they've fallen on their swords (a traditional Japanese method of avoiding the dishonour of capture).  [Thanks toAlan Griffith [alangriffith@btinternet.com] for this tidbit] 

If you slap a Bile Demon a few times, He'll make a  "two-finger" salute, which is used in England as a gesture of defiance.  (Thanks to the dozens of people who let me know this).  It's rather like "Giving you the Finger" that we use in the U.S., except it's with two fingers instead of one.  
Note for those of you who are interested: Seems this interesting little gesture comes from the English/French wars of the middle ages, where the French would cut off the two fingers of any bowmen they captured,  so they could no longer fight.  So, to taunt the French from the battlements, the English would hold up these two fingers to show that they still had them.

If you sacrifice two Bile demons in the temple pool, all of your creatures are turned into chickens.

If you slap a chicken, it explodes into a perfusion of feathers.  Funny if you do it a few times, but otherwise a foolish waste of resources.

Try possessing a chicken.  You wander around the hatchery, and have no control over movement.
