Combat reports structured to have pertinent detail at top Instead of a scrollable log of turns first, I think this sort of format would be more useful to players (just free thinking here): ----------------------------------------------------------------- Attacker [Flag] vs Defender [Flag] Attacker [Flag] Casualties: nnn , Defender [Flag] Casualties: nnn Attacker [Flag] Morale: nnn (loss) , Defender [Flag] Morale: nnn (loss) Scrollable list of Attacks and their outcomes, possible tabulated Modifiers and what not ----------------------------------------------------------------- In fact you could have a shorthand info line pop up (like already does) but with [Flag] Losses / Morale (loss) = [Flag] Losses / Morale (loss) Essentially, you want your player to be able to take the result of combat immediately, so they can assess what went wrong, or right and begin planning again. If they need more info, then the Battle report and scrollable "drill down" of events come into play. Most the time, I look at the end of turn summary, and have to scroll half-way down the events, just to get the overall casualties and morale loss numbers. I hardly ever sift through the voluminous events list above it all. No doubt there may come a time when I want to, but I think quick, easy to read, battle outcome summaries are very helpful, and all the other info is available if we need it. Anyway, just a thought.
