Blashy, you're forcing people to do work they don't want to do. That's not what customers look for in a game. I've given two solutions. 1 - A popup, just like for player successful diplo actions. 2 - Make the numbers blink on the diplo (and war map) till checked. Of the two, I'm becoming more wedded to the second one. Less intrusive, more elegant, and would be easy to do.

Look, Blashy, I already pointed out to you that you're not fooling anyone, you're just relying on a lazy opponent and poor screen design to play your diplo games. If your opponent checks the screen every turn, notes down the changes somewhere, your whole point is moot.

IF the game is balanced with no tech investment whatsoever by either side, then there's really no reason to change it.

Just not that onerous doesn't cut it. I shouldn't be forced to when there's a quick and easy fix. What are we going to do when the mods come out and there's 25 chits in play? Write the original numbers down on a piece of paper and hold them up next to the screen?

Perhaps, but it's so much nicer if the computer does it for me. And better game design too. Maybe just making a changed number blink on the diplo screen until looked at would be a quick and easy fix?

Well, in order for me to notice the diplomacy results, I first have to commit all the percentages to memory for all the nations listed. Then see if they change. Then rememorize. Every turn. Let's see, was Spain at 64 or 72% last turn...? That's tedious. Should, at the very least, be marked on the diplo screen that something happened. Besides, I get other info in popups that I ordinarily would have no way whatsoever to know, like reinforcements landing in Egypt or the exact amount of mpp lost due to a sub attack, so why not diplo results? Heck, my Ambassador better be doing something besides going to cocktail parties, so have him draw it to my attention. And btw, you're not surprising anybody, you just happened to have a lazy opponent. Like me.

A fair point, but Netherland's days are numbered, once US comes in, as no Axis player could afford to leave a open neutral that close to Berlin. So might as well just get it over with.

Too tedious Blashy. After US and USSR DOW there's no reason to check the diplo screen, so a popup would be nice. Or you could just sit around and wonder where the heck your Norwegian ore shipments went, like I did.

Hmm, I assumed he meant upgrading it as Axis player, since he bombed it, pzgdr.

Don't think you can upgrade it if it's still damaged.

Hey, rleete, you get that last file?

Has it already had the snotty waiters bombed out of it?
