[Cainehill]

I would rarely see a situation where "We won/lost a battle" would be more useful than "There was a battle". If I don't already _know_ intuitively that I'd be in a massacre, those messages are useless without information about the casualties.

Since casualties would rarely if ever fit into the summary message, I see no benefit in changing the message - only in giving the follow-up message a lot better information.

That makes it rather different from many of the other messages, where a single line in the summary could often obviate any need to click for more information, unless you wanted to view "flavor" of further messages. Example being : "Wimpy Mage cast Wimpy Knowledge revealing X sites". 90% of the time you'd then _know_ you didn't need to click further, because it would say "revealing no magic sites".
