On-screen Text announcements for classic display
« on: December 09, 2022, 08:03:45 pm »

While there is added Fun value in clicking on an icon that I didn't notice for 10 minutes and reading "the agitated capybara is fighting!", I would much rather have the option of setting an on-screen text announcement in the style of previous versions when playing with an ascii tileset. (With options, so we can banish the job cancelled announcements to an icon).

Sure, we miss the text sometimes, which is fine. But I miss the new icons much more, and likely they'll be even less noticeable when playing Classic. 

(And of course, as other suggestions have noted, an Announcements window, output to gamelog.txt and a combat reports screen would be nice to have back).
