Just a suggestion. Could we change the feild capture message system?

It's currently like:

Feild 71 has been captured by the Bishops.

Now normally when I see that, I would bring up my map, search around for feild 71, and see if we lost it, or the rooks lost it.

What I am suggesting is:

Feild 71 has been lost by the Knights and captured by the Bishops

Comments welcome ,

Good Suggestion. I often wonder the same thing but I never take the time to figure out who lost the field. (Especially on the larger map).

I think this would be pretty easy to implement.

Something I was thinking about as well. Why don't we get a message telling us whether or not we hit the CV when we bomb or torpedo it? I don't mean when we sink it. I mean when you drop the first bomb on it. More often then not, I die from the ack cloud and have no idea if the CV was hit or not.

Both of these messages would be quite helpful and appreciated.

I would prefer.

Feild 71 has been lost by the Knights and captured of the Bishops

LOL! This way people might start defending it sooner. (Right after its captured).

Nothing against the original idea... I just find it funny that people generally care more about what they just lost than protecting it in the first place.

I like your Idea but message should be short and sweet:
Knight Field 71 captured by Bishops

what i would like is instead of the global base under attack

I would like it range specific like AHV range channel is. I would also like a text message that says field 14 under attack.

Keep it simple:

All (A71) your (rook) base are belong to us (bishop)
