An announcement should be made when anything has been killed and by whom. For example, a goblin is fighting a squad of axedwarves, an annoucenment should be made that "Goblin Whatshisname has been struck down by Urist Axedwarf". I sometimes give nicknames based on kills and this feature would be helpful.

Just to add some clarity to this:

Announcements.txt does allow for notifications upon citizen death, pet death, and deaths in adventure mode, but does not allow for notifications of deaths of non-fortress creatures.

Further, it is often very difficult to tell when a given creature has died in combat announcements, as the strikes are often recorded, but the actual death announcements are not.

While I am on a roll, however, having a means of toggling a filter for the "less major" aspects of combat (like merely taking a swing) so that I only see the actual damage done in combat or the deaths when viewing the combat reports would be a big time saver, as looking through the details of every single swing is something that I rarely am particularly interested in.

A filter would be nice. As neat as it is to read through pages of dwarves biting eyelids and kicking toes until the goblins vomit, it would be very helpful to be able to quickly scan for specific injuries and the attacks that caused them.

I just think that an announcement should be made whenever anything is killed. This isnt typically frequent enough where the announcements would be annoying. Mentioning who was the killer would be nice if the death was violent.

It is customizable through announcements.txt, but there just isn't an option for an announcement for deaths of creatures besides your own dwarves or their pets.  If we just get the option, then we can set it to whatever we want.

+1 for the ability to see when foreigners are struck down.  It's not a life or death situation, most of the time, but I spend more time than I feel I should trying to determine who was killed when during invasions.
