Need better notification for battles and planetary invasions

from GalCiv3 Forums

Hi all

At the beginning of my turn I am often swamped by a number of combats and planetary takeovers.   When initiated by enemies I don't even get a chance to see where these are, what the units fighting are or which planets are under attack nor is there any indication of results.  This makes things very difficult late game when there is much going on.

The notification of battle pop-up should be transparent and contain more information.

Also the results of the conflict should be displayed and not vanish till player input occurs so that you get a chance to check out what just happened.

Also are there plans to introduce 'battle graphics' like in Gal Civ II.  I'd really like to watch the fights sometimes rather than get a quick and unexpected text dialogue which then vanishes....

 

Cheers

This is all coming in Beta 3 (currently tentatively scheduled for December). What you are seeing are only placeholders for parts of the game that are still being invented.

There will be something to replace the "battle graphics" GC2 had, but we haven't seen or heard anything about what they will be like other than "we think you will love them".

Cool and all good with the battle graphics.  I really hope they focus on the pre/post battle/invasion notifications though....anyway let's wait and see.
