Suggestion: Fog of War - see all log entries involving you.

When playing games with Fog of War, it would be useful to know where you lost territories, and who you lost them to.

Instead of:

MrBenn attacked India from China and conquered it from player1
player2 attacked ? from ? and conquered it from player1
MrBenn attacked Siam from India and conquered it from player2
player1 attacked ? from ? and conquered it from MrBenn
player1 attacked ? from ? and conquered it from player2
player1 attacked ? from ? and conquered it from MrBenn
player2 attacked ? from ? and conquered it from MrBenn
player2 attacked ? from ? and conquered it from player1
MrBenn attacked Indonesia from New Guinea and conquered it from player1

It might be useful to see this in the game log:

MrBenn attacked India from China and conquered it from player1
player2 attacked ? from ? and conquered it from player1
MrBenn attacked Siam from India and conquered it from player2
player1 attacked India from ? and conquered it from MrBenn
player1 attacked ? from ? and conquered it from player2
player1 attacked Indonesia from ? and conquered it from MrBenn
player2 attacked Alberta from ? and conquered it from MrBenn
player2 attacked ? from ? and conquered it from player1
MrBenn attacked Indonesia from New Guinea and conquered it from player1

It still fits in with the 'fog of war' concept; but knowing where you lost territory is as important as knowing where you've won it!

This has been brought up before. Lack has said that this is the way he wants it. Only the things that you do (not necessarily participate in or witness) show up in the log. I don't think it's the best way to play, but it's a hell of a lot easier to code and keeps the load times low on the game pages.

if you want to know what armies have been taken away from you, you can always write them down somewhere.
