Pop up screens blocking your view

the only thing that really gripes me about this game is that sometimes screens that pop up block my view of whats going on. example.

i see a group of spiders sitting near an enemy unit. i hit next turn. a screen pops up telling me that my city has gained a level. BEHIND that screen the enemy unit attacked or was attacked by the spiders. one of them was killed. and then whichever unit had won, escaped into the fog of war. i have no idea what just happened!

does this gripe anybody else?

devs, can something be done about this?

There was another suggestion thread about city level-up message blocking your view of the city, so you can't see what's in that city to inform your decision. If things happen behind the message, that's bad. We definitely need some control over that message window.

A message log would help, too--something like the tactical battle log, only for all in-game messages.

its just whenever there is a pop up screen, there are still things going on behind it. you can't see that stuff. not sure what can be done though, i think its a byproduct of the multithreaded design.

I think such pop-ups shouldn't appear during the enemy turn, but at the start of your next turn instead.

100% agree!

Agree with PawelS. Or, let us drag the pop-ups. Or make the game smart enough to put them off to whichever side has less going on, instead of dead-center.

However they do it, when a monster eats one of my caravans, I want to be able to see where it was. This is a big deal to me.

QFT..

these bastigs irritate the heck out of me.. I still want a caravan guard option through warfare or Civic research.. unlocks a building where we can invest gildar hiring guards for these things.. more gildar = better guards..

How about recieving the pop-up as a message at the side of the screen (similar to the total war series) and then you can pres the message and have the box pop-up when you see it fit.
