announcements during worldgen
« on: June 01, 2019, 08:54:00 am »

I think it would be cool to see big events in an announcement log while world gen is happening. Such as, when wars start/stop, civ dies, fb or mega dies, site is destroyed, etc.

Yes, but only really ones relevant to yourself, other people's wars is what the c screen 'News' is for. Sneak attacks like ambushes don't count, sounds good and would support. Posting to watch.

I think they meant initial world gen, before you can start a fort.

Yeah. I meant during initial world gen while watching sites appear and fall to ruin.

I'd find it particularly useful to know if a breeding pair of megabeasts exist. Oftentimes a roc/dragon breeding program is doomed before world gen even starts, and you don't know until after its done. Balance that against the history requirements of getting necromancers and it gets really annoying.
