Beethoven1 -> Leader death details (1/29/2022 2:26:30 PM)
Since RNG leader deaths are a significant part of the game, it would be nice to have some more detail on how exactly the leaders died. Currently it either just says that they died, or else that they were executed... How about instead... Model was ambushed by partisans and killed by small arms fire Vasilevsky was assassinated by an enemy spy Von Kluge was killed in an enemy bombing raid on his HQ Paulus died of a heart attack Zhukov died in a plane crash Manstein was killed by an enemy tank Brandenberger was killed by artillery fire etc The descriptions would not necessarily have to mean anything, they could just be randomly selected. Maybe make them depend partly on the distance from the front that the leader was when they died. Currently it seems a bit weird when leaders die 10 hexes from the front line, so maybe at least throw us a bone and tell us what exactly it was that killed them?

It can be scenic and make roleplay out of the situation but at the same time some players can be iffy if 'killed by air raid' when no enemy air was flying in the zone.

I once lost Manstien on turn 3, due to a failure on my part, lost the game by turn 16 lol

Yes what I am trying to say is that IF there was no bombing, and a leader 'dies because of bombing' it will seem silly. So there should be some coding for a criteria of ... chances of death, etc. It'd be lots of effort for no real gameplay change, a cosmetic stuff!

Honestly, all I really want is for it to say something like "you have died of dysentery" simply for the sake of the memes. Think of the possibilities. It's a great marketing opportunity for 2by3 & matrix. [8D]
