Monster Activity messages are a bit excessive
« Topic Start: February 14, 2016, 11:31:54 PM »
Kind of annoying to scroll past all of this every turn, especially when I check BM on my phone during my break. Any way it could be shortened (aside from killing them :p).

The monsters continue to dig burrows and slaughter peasants as they turn the region into their own hunting grounds!
1 peasant was eaten, eviscerated, or otherwise killed by the monsters.

I agree. I think you should only get one message per region.

yes, this was on my "list", but my list is getting long so I held off.

I imaging this would take either 1) option to turn off completely or 2)a bit of a re-write, as they prolly spit out one by one, rather than being collectable into arrays

I kind of like it. It drives home the gravity of your situation. ;)

But seriously... Wow. You are so screwed.

Heheh. Yeah, that's a bit silly.

I can look into doing some combining of these in the next few days.

It's called parade marching. Demonstrating your military might. Like in old soviet films or North Korea now.

As long as it isn't the mindless, idiotic, mentally challenged shuffling the AI does in the Total War games (seriously, done with those games until CA actually hires people who can program an AI that works) I don't mind it, at least we know where they are going.

I'm working on this right now. Taking a little longer than I expected, but I'm in the testing phase, so unless I run into some nasty problems with what I've already written, it should be able to go live either today or in the next few days.

Sweet, I look forward to it! Though we kind of lost the battle, it was pretty epic though. Poor Ivory Vale :( I barely knew ye.

By the way, would love to see you coordinate three realms without having an OOC teamspeak with everyone on it.
