When I first played DROD, I played the Architecht's Edition and got pretty far into King Dugan's Dungeon. Now, in the 2.0 version that is available in JtRH, there seems to be a slight mixup. In the text that comes at the start of each level, the texts for level 16 and 17 have been switched.

The text for Level 16 was about Beethro taking so long to think about something (the differently sized cups, IIRC) that he didn't notice that the room had been covered in tar. Sure enough, the entrance room on Level 16 is covered in tar. Now when I played through the 2.0 version, this same text came for Level 17, in which there is no tar in the entrance room, and some other (much shorter) text came for Level 16.

It's not a game-crippling bug in any way, but I don't think it's supposed to be this way.

I just took a look at my AE copy of JtRH, and the texts are indeed the same. The short Level 16 text goes "The roaches need an authority figure to gidue them. Someone like you!", and Level 17's talks about the leaf-juice in cups and the tar. While the level is full of tar (And efficiency), there is no tar in the entrance room.

So, if anything, I suppose that Level 17's text *could* be reworded, but that was how the original said, so I would vote that it'll say the same for consistency.

Assuming you meant KDD, not JtRH, I agree with you. For the 1.5 version, the texts are also the same as in the 1.6 and 2.0 version, so since the 1.5 version descriptions can be regarded as the "original" on which the 2.0 version ones are based, I'd say it's fine.
