Squad-wide reports
« on: August 12, 2016, 05:21:27 pm »

Say you send out your military to defend your homes from the goblin menace. They return victorious and now you want to know exactly what happened with the level of detail only DF provides. You can already do that through the reports screen but there is a small issue: reports are organized around individuals even though combat in fortress mode is often one group vs another. So if you want to see how the entire squad fought or you want to learn the individuals in your squad worked together you have to look at many different reports and remember every name. This problem could be solved if there was squad wide reports with all the events from the reports of each member of the squad. Obviously the events should still be sorted based on when they occurred. Similar to how announcements look in adventurer mode where you can follow how your allies are doing in their tussles even though you aren't necessarily fighting the same opponent. Thanks for reading :)

The ability to know which crossbowman shot which bolt would be nice.
