I think people misunderstand each other here:
The original poster suggested that the
first line of a battle message should indicate who has won and who as lost. I do not like that, since it would spoil the suspense by gleaming on the message list.
However, I think
no one here objects to having more information in the battle summary obtained by clicking on the battle message inside that list.

Besides I think that suspense is also a reason why the message window opens first, so you do not see the map and hence do not know immediately which provinces were won and which ones were lost unless you click on the battle summaries or dissmiss the message window...

Geez, these boards have turned hostile...
