Important Event Notification

Post by Scouters »

This is something that I would find very useful. At the beginning of each day there could be a notification of new units arriving in the theatre. It could be something as simple as a text box that simply says "New units have arrived in the theatre." although ideally it would present a list each turn, organized by unit type (air, ground, sea) and arrival site.

In addition, could there be notification of certain important changes in unit status? Maybe the Preferences menu could allow you to toggle notifications for:

1. a TF with any ship that has less than 10% of max endurance

2. more than 50% of ships in a TF have low/no ammo

3. an air group has more than 50% average fatigue or less than 25% morale.

4. a land unit has more than 50% fatigue/disruption/casualties

5. a TF has arrived at its destination and has no active orders (ie. refuel, supply, etc.)

6. other various logistic situations where, when you discover it on your own, you slap yourself on the forehead and say "Oh [REGIONAL EXPLETIVE] ! ! ! How did I let that happen!"


Thanks Matrix!

Excellent points, I usually just end up walking away from the PC for 15 minutes while mumbling uncoherrantly to myself and wondering what could have gone wrong. This could really help remove some of the confusion.

Great suggestions Scouters! I think all these points would nicely enhance the gameplay. In general, given the 24hr+ turns, I think it would be real nice to get more info pop-ups in the forthcoming patch.
