Currently, when you conquer a hold other than DD, you get a rather bland "You conquered X, well done" message. It would be nice if the author could specify a hold ending message, in the same way as he can specify the hold or level descriptions, to make the player feel he has actually achieved something.

That reminds me, while i was at another computer some time ago and trying out the beta a bit, creating some test holds etc, i noticed that there's a very restrictive limit on how long the intro text for the level is. When i get to creating my own holds sometime, i want to create a story for it, which is partly told in those intro texts - but there's not enough room for very much, and there's no way to insert a newline either. I know it's possible since DD has both long messages and newlines in the level intro texts.

Has this been fixed ? (again, i'm not able to try the beta at the moment, so i don't know if this is still a problem. sorry for the inconvenience )

Well... you can press Ctrl-M to add a newline. It does work. Note that after you press Ctrl-M, you will not see any more text you enter in the box, but it's still being entered, and it does look correct on the intro to level screen.

Yes, this is silly, and yes, changing it to a multi-line edit box will be much nicer.
