It takes no more time to write a battle note that it does the computer to anamiate the battle.

Example of a battle report taken from Napeolonic Conquest:

Attacking Wick
Grand Battery fires at 4/4 RedCoat. Miss
Grand Battery fires at 4/4 RedCoat. Now 2/4
Grand Battery fires at 3/3 RedCoat. Now 1/3
5/5 Imperial Calvary attacking 2/4 RedCoat. Imperaial Calvary retreats at 1/5. Red Coat 1/4.
4/4 Imperial Calvary attacking 1/3 RedCoat. Dead RedCoat. Imperial Calvary 3/4.
4/4 Imperial Calvary attacking 1/4 RedCoat. Dead Redcoat. IC promoted. 2/5.
Wick captured.

having report for one unit and for 100 units needs different amount of time

and having the computer animate the move and the same time to write the report means double time, isn't it?

as I said - it was just a note, not pointing this game or anything related to this game - just a principal position

I guess I can see how battle reports would be a signifigant slowdown for "teams" that, like in 1889's case, now are just one player for the civ. Otherwise, however, I'm frankly surprised you guys weren't already planning to write this stuff down for posting in your own forum. And it doesn't take that long to edit out the moves unrelated to the battle report, does it?

It gets significantly faster if you drop the HP numbers for each unit. Just getting the total attacked+killed+lost unit count is usually information enough (and easy to count!).

I would like to remind all nations to keep the unit type in the unit's name. At the moment a certain team is having Simon and Foxtrot camping out and we're curious who's who.

I believe you are referring to units in the Desolation Row army.

I am surprised at your concern however. It is clear from the unit stats what the units actually are. At least we haven't renamed a Swordsman "Warrior", or worse....renamed a Settler "Worker" - I've seen that done before

I'm probably mistaken, but I don't recall ever seeing the word "Archer" in front of Kurt Cobain's name....unless you've recently changed it.

As far as im concerned its bad practice to leave out the units designation from the name, and no excuses can be accepted !!!

WE ALSO HAVE ONE OF YOUR UNITS IN VIEW WHICH WE CAN SEE IS A WARRIOR BUT IT SAYS NOTHING OF THAT IN ITS NAME.

Change it please, and any others you have that do not have the correct unit designation in their names.

Paddy, I am only pointing out that some people here demand that everything happen as they want.

the reason that I disagree with having to edit in the names, (I take it that you thought that was "vetoing (sp?)" the battle reports? And I was not around when Devastator was killed, so you should talk to Ormuzd about that...or maybe you have already?), is that the stats are easily readable when you click on the stack. The exceptions are, I believe, some troop transports, and workers/settlers/ and exploers/scouts. These should, ofcourse, be named in such a way that it is easily understandable what is what, with the addendum of a legend etc.

	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Well firstly, battle reports are between the two civs concerned. They are not a matter that teams on the other side of the world have an automatic right to know about. Furthermore, the fact that two teams are at war is not something that should be advertised. The game mechanics allow you to see which teams are at war through the diplomatic screen, but only if you have an Embassy with at least one of the warring parties.

Therefore, public broadcast of which teams are at war goes directly against the mechanics available for deriving such information via the game engine. It goes without saying therefore, that battle results should also not be broadcast.

keeping close to the allowed ingame rules will not allow us tech agreements for example. I'm sure there ar numerous other treaties and deeds which can be done and they are not presented in the game as options.

And about the war - you can't believe that it will stay hidden for too long. At least one team will contact other team to ask them soemthing - to help with troops or to not attack, or to not support the enemy, etc. It can't stay hidden for too long either.
