After Action Report

from Elemental Forums

I seem to remember someone else mentioning this somewhere but I can not find it.  I wanted to bring this up again.  I for one love reading fantasy novels and love to create detailed AAR after my games (images, screen shots, artwork, etc.)  Call me an uber geek but what can I say.  After playing Dominions 3 for some time, I noticed many others who enjoyed creating short stories detailing their exploits.  I am not so hopeful that any game could create an AAR automatically but it would be nice if Elemental could list major events so I do not have to keep such detailed notes while playing.  I would love to be able to simply print or copy the major events log at the end of the game and then create my "work of art".  Just a pipe dream perhaps but I will be bringing it up during the actual beta.  Could anyone else use this?

Please please please....... have the log as a text file!  That way it's all there in electronic format in a file easily accessible by any editor.  :D

FYI: There is a thread started about it having an epic story generator here.

We might need an AAR sub-section way latter.

As there is no information about the epic story generator in Elemental.

I'd love a list of major events generated at the end of a game.
'nuff said.

That's one of the fun things to do with any variation of Civilization (did Civ1 have it? don't recall) - after you finish a game you play the cinematic that shows your cities as they're born, flourish, and die.  It's to you see big sweeping color changes across the world map in a short time, especially when those wars took so long (relatively) to play through.

I forgot the Civ games showed this.  This, too, would be a nice feature, in addition to the ability to review major events, timelines, etc. all in one convenient location.

+1 to this.

Feature request please?

Oh yes please. That blitz through history at the end of the Civ games was imho allways the best part of a long game. :)
