Need a Battle aftermath and location report.

from GalCiv3 Forums

I know this has been repeated a lot. I just want to clarify. With larger maps and more empire fighting back and forth (espeially with tougher AI), we really need a separate button or page or such that says the following:

 

  • Who attacked who
  • Where the location was. Either give us a name and coordinates and/or a clicky in the report to snap to location, ideally both.
  • What was the outcome
  • What was the strength and if possible armaments/defenses used "at the time of battle", eg: we were attacked by a fleet comprising of 1-gunboat, 2-defenders, 1 cutter with an attk/defense value of 3-15-10 & (10-20-0) in the Tsunami sector, {123.3 x 456.4} <coordinates.

 

I am now engaged in a drawn out war and we are taking the same planet back and forth. It would also be nice to know what the enemy is at soldiering wise or such. 

 

This information is pretty important for battle planning and staging of where forces need to be directed. As it is now you might not even know what and where the battle was.

I concur, I lost 2 planets the other night before I realized the enemy was in my base.  When I went to load my autosaves they were all too late because apparently I lost them long ago.

 

Don't you guys dare release Immense sized maps without adding at least an outcome & location report.

Also it would be nice to get a warning if enemy ships enter your area of influence. I know this is likely to be in the works but as you are fighting again information is critical to the allocation of combat resources. 

 

I also lost a mining starbase and had no idea what it was that was lost/beat or such.
