I've just looked at the settings and I believe some units are set to only have morale losses and not necessarily strength losses as well.
Well, for the Suez Canal it seems reasonable, and I've yet to see the computer do something similar there. But for this case and the previous one, is there a reason why it should be like that? The in-game result is that the computer moves his naval units there and leaves them to be destroyed by ground units, for no good reason that I see. So I figure I should either point it out for a computer adjustment, or for a terrain adjustment.ORIGINAL: Bill Runacre

Found another one of those weird hexes that a naval unit can move into and a land unit can attack it:
Hi
Those hexes are dotted around the map, and some of them have to be that way, e.g. the Suez Canal.
As long as the AI isn't using it to get its ships hit repeatedly then I'll leave them as they are.
From your experience do you think I should change this one?

For AI turns it is currently set as an either/or option, i.e. it will disappear on its own or you can click it away before it does so. The automatic dismissal of popups on AI turns was deemed necessary as often players may ALT-TAB away from an AI turn and if it didn't dismiss automatically, at some point, an AI turn will be stuck until a particular popup is dismissed.
What I have done is increase the default length of time for an automatic dismissal from 20 seconds to 30 seconds as I think this will help for some of those popups where you'd like to see the information a bit longer on screen.

Well, its a couple days later and this is still the #1 frustration for me. Now I am up to 15-20 notifications of spotted units each turn. These aren't even necessary as the units are visible on the map during the turn so I can see them anyway, no need to make me click to acknowledge each one. [:@]ORIGINAL: jpinardI've never been bothered by it myself. It will settle back down once you'd identified lots of units due to spying. But maybe if it does become a lot, the game can be sped up a tad when displaying them.ORIGINAL: sPzAbt653
Since I started playing with FoW ON those Intelligence Pop-ups have become a pest [jumping all over the map notifying me that I've spotted a garrison in London, etc.]. Maybe it's just me.

Could you give us a checkbox option in the options screen to shorten the amount of time that the smaller popup window remains? I think right now it's like ~4 seconds? It would be nice to go to the options menu and click "Quicker messages". I think it would be important enough to add as a flexible option because depending on your mood you may want the default amount of time the windows stay open before closing and moving on. However, other times we may be in a hurry and want them to close faster... but automatically. The game is pretty intense click-wise so it's nice to have a break and have the game do the clicking for you.

At the end of the turn I wasn't charge the 50 mpp so hitting Esc means you select No.ORIGINAL: rjh1971
When the invade Greece decision event popped up, I pressed Esc as to go to the scripts file and know what would happen if I said no. After pressing Esc the event disappeared and could not make any decision.
Maybe the Esc key should be disabled when decisions are to be made or make it so the event pop up reappears.

Start the game and jump to the very lower right of the map. By moving back and forth with mouse or arrow keys you can start getting refresh/graphics glitches as seen below. No big deal, maybe its only my machine, but thought you guys might want to know.
