SC2 - Historical News Pop-ups?

[Edwin P.]

Any chance that SC2 will contain a few (4 to 8) news pop-ups tied to historical dates;

- Sep 1940: Japan signs mutual defense treaty with Italy and Germany

- Jul 1941: Japan siezes Vietnam, US embargos Japan

- Dec 1941: Japan attacks Pearl Harbor

- May 1942: US victory at Midway

- Jul 1944: US Marines in the Pacific capture island of Guam

- Feb 1945: Yalta Conference (If UK & USSR & USA still survive)

- Apr 1945: Roosevelt Dies

- Sep 1945: Japan Surrenders

Thus on the turn coving Dec 7, 1941 the players would see a pop-up announcing the attack on Pearl Harbor (with a public domain picture of the attack from the US Military Archives). With a click it goes away. (Naturally you can turn this off or have only a percentage chance that each will appear! ie 50%)
