SUGGESTION: ~newsticker

from GalCiv3 Forums

I'm pretty jazzed about Ai initiating trades now, but I think there is something more that can make them feel more connected... Specifically a news ticker of sorts showing diplomatic developments, battles /results, colonization of planets, et c.   not a big thing like your first whatever... More of just a little one min thing that cab be clicked to expand a drop down and show the full length of last few events. Maybe alliw it to be clicked to show details about the event if available

It's a good idea.   It would add some atmosphere to the game.

My second thought was, don't put anything in the ticker that the player doesn't/shouldn't have access to.   Similar to the situation with diplomacy, where now you can find out the exact composition of an AI fleet, without any espionage, information conveyed by a friend/ally, and so forth.

But I am thinking that you are hardly oblivious to that aspect.
