Status: offline 		I am enjoying the game so far. One thing REALLY bugs me, though:

Whenever there is a potential battle, the huge "The Enemy Approaches" dialog box appears, telling you where the battle is about to take place. It covers the map, so I can't see where on the map this location is.

I don't have the map memorized, and want to be able to see where this location is before I decide whether or not to fight. This window can easily be much smaller, and not cover the region in question.

Or, at least let us click back to the map to view the current situation before making our decision to fight or flee. I really don't like this about the game!

Thank you.
