Ie. In 943, Urist Rumbottom (dwarf) was struck down by Los Ghoulstrike the Death of Rabbits (demon).

I'm not sure if this has been suggested before, but there you go.

[The13thRonin]

Ah, thats definitely something that would make a vast improvement. It's annoying not knowing what did what.

[Neoskel]

Heh, i suggested this not long ago. So i support. 

[Reasonableman]

I wonder why this isn't already a feature.

race should also be after the names in historical figures.
Fact is, it should be after the name in every screen where it isn't shown at the top. (ie duels and historical figure profiles).

Sites should also have their racial affiliations mentioned in a similar fashion.

[Wooty]

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Its nearly impossible to figure things out as it is.

Instead of having battles lead by "40 creatures" defended by "20 creatures", why can't it show what the creatures really are too? I mean, once your world exceeds 5,000 years, every single battle consists of "creatures" and you have no idea who is fighting what.

I don't like the parentheticals, but I'll put something in nowish.

One of the issues is that it makes the regular historical figure histories look silly, since in a human's history it'll just say human all the time, so there's just a bit of annoying handling that needs to be written for that so it can shift the sentences based on context.  In general, "I wonder why this isn't already a feature" is often a matter of how much time there is in the day for me to work.

I gave it 4 or so lines at the top, and these armies are evenly mixed race that it can't say "mostly elves" or anything like that -- there'd need to be either a separate listing or less space to view the events, so I just left it.  There's a little space left in those lines with the map there, so it could try to fit a numeric breakdown with a few race names, but there's not much room.  "Force of " could be removed.

[Techhead]

He might be complaining about a possible lack of creature type because most of the participants were culled from history.

[Toady One]

Yeah, it'll also screw up the battle losses as well due to culling.  Tracking culled stats is an additional matter.

[umiman]

Hmm? I rarely turn culling on. It still does it quite often. I understand if it's impossible with culling.

[Toady One]

If culling is off, and no race has a majority in the army, it says creatures.  In the next version, it tries to fit the racial breakdown on the line (and most often succeeds, I think), only reverting to creatures if it doesn't fit (or if the information was culled).

[Jamuk]

Just say " Urist McDwarfPants the dwarf killed Jeffrey McGoblin the goblin."

[Sean Mirrsen]

I know we'll have to wait until some point in the Caravan arc for item tracking, but once there, will we be able to tell HOW someone was killed? Now, we can only see that someone was shot or just killed, while a lot of people here would probably like to see that someone was killed with a warhammer hit to the head, or with a stray arrow blowing out half the internal organs.

How do you have time to respond to practically everything on the forum AND do more work in a day than an entire development team could do in week?!

Are you a wizard?
