Hi Victorious,
I can answer, but you won't like it all. Regarding replacing, no.
Unfortunately we can't overwrite the inbuilt game announcements. Not
always necessarily a bad thing, if Ian wanted to introduce localisation
(outputting to other languages) this is what makes it possible. However,
this also means you can't have your own custom flavour textin its place.
What we scripters can do is announce some text after a skill is
performed / an effect is applied, but that will just be announced after
the normal announcements. So that bit is possible and quite easy. I
wrote some code in my updated scripts which will make it really easy to
do that as a flag for my upcoming shuffle around, if you'd like a flag
to do that.
Sorry it's not quite the answer you were hoping for,
Craig

Hi scripters
Just as it says on the tin -- how difficult would it be to make a
script that either replaces the game's message or is spoken
before/after the game's default message in the following situations:
1. skill usage: Have it replace the default message completely for e.g
air mage uses wind wall at (6, 2) to A swirling wall of air forms at
(6, 2). Or air mage uses air blast at (6, 1), Evil orc takes 10 damage
to A blast of air nearly knocks the evil orc at (6, 1) off its feet,
causing 10 damage.
2. skill usage: Have it be announced before/after the game's default
message e.g air mage uses wind wall at (6, 2). The currents of air
intensify to form a swirling wwall of air.
3. effect being triggered e.g Pain racks xxx's's body as the acute
poison courses through its body causing 25 damage.
4. Unit stepping on tile with an effect e.g an evil orc moves to (6,
2). The swirling wall of air sends an evil orc flying, causing 20
damage as it hits the ground, hard.
