Reports for the new activity zone's events
« on: December 06, 2015, 07:06:04 pm »

While the new taverns and such are pretty cool, I'm finding it difficult to keep track of what's going in these areas. For example, I just witnessed what I presumed was a tavern "brawl" that left one of my dwarves dead. There was nothing in the combat reports, the general reports or even the dwarf's thoughts (besides from acknowledging the injury itself).

I feel that some events should be properly recorded and reported to the player like usual announcements. For a few suggestions;

1. When someone is writing a new book

2. When a tavern brawl breaks out

3. When someone defiles a temple (not sure if this is already reported to the player)

Ideally, you could regulate just how much information you receive, like with normal announcements, to cut down on any potentially unwanted clutter. Really, any sort of announcement to the player for noteworthy events would be an improvement.

Are combat reports actually working properly? Someone else mentioned sparring doesn't show up any more either. Are there options for brawling reports in announcements.txt?

Oh, and surely it's more Fun not to report a temple defilement except maybe as 'an act of vandalism in the temple has been discovered'.

In my experience, there is a bug with training. They only do Individual training right now, never spar or give/take classes anymore.
