Default Re: Suggestions for more informative messages

Leif, given that this is the way they've decided to design the game for every iteration of Dominions, I think my position is probably more concrete than yours in regard to Illwinter's thinking.
I'm glad that you've got a direct mental link to their brains and can determine exactly how they want the game to be. Back in the real world, we'd like to see things that need to be fixed, get fixed.

I'm supporting a compromise between the two different groups: those who enjoy the suspense, and those wanting more information in a more timely manner.
The nature of a compromise is that it leaves everybody unhappy with the result. Now, we can either please the tiny minority of people that like to be confused by their games, or we can please the majority of people who would rather their game not hide information from them.

If clicking on a message and reading information is still too slow for you and Stryke then perhaps you need to be playing another game.
I'm going to suggest that you go back and re-read my suggestion for what information should be presented, and my suggestion that people who are worried about losing "suspense" should simply not click on the message, since they apparently don't want to know a battle's result before the battle has finished.
