Default Re: Suggestions for more informative messages

Stating something needs to be fixed implies that it is broken. If Illwinter thought the current system were broken, don't you think they would have "fixed" it by now? I don't have a direct link to their brains but I do have a little bit of common sense.
Unless you are going to argue that Illwinter believes their game is perfect, then you have no idea whether they want the messages to behave in a certain way. However, even if they do want the messages to be uninformative, which is unlikely, it's the player's job to inform the developers of what changes are necessary.

Here's some advice: Don't bother applying for a position as ambassador for your country because you have very little knowledge about how negotiations work.
Could we avoid silly analogies about international politics? Illwinter can either keep the messages as uninformative as they currently are, or they can listen to the dozens of people who have asked over the past several years for improved information to be presented in the message summary. The first case is supported by a few people who feel that strategy games present too much information and would rather be playing a RPG. The second case has been asked for constantly since Dominions I was released.
