Base is under attack
« on: October 02, 2017, 06:55:20 PM »
The warning is nearly useless. There's the sound indicating something, and then somewhere one of 100 fields starts flashing. Lack of information about incoming attacks helps to attack in a way that requires no fight.

idea 1) Flash bases when an enemy carrier is near. Ground observers would surely spot it and report it.

idea 2) Flash bases differently (different pattern) depending on the kind of attack. Planes/GVs within flashing range, flash as today. Ack damaged, 2 short flashes; town damaged 3 short flashes.

Just tell us the base number coming under attack; no need to make it more complex than necessary.
