Problems with destroyed resource / outpost notification

from Elemental Forums

Being told when a resource or outpost has been destroyed is nice except they appear in the jumble of notifications at the start of your turn.

You click go to location and if you are lucky get a quick glance at it before the next message pops up or takes you to a different location.

 

It would be better if they appeared as a list on the right hand side.

I agree.  I don't know why it's a pop-up instead of an item in the Event Log.  You really need to go through the Event Log in this game.  Giving a pop-up trains people to expect to be notified in a more intrusive manner, which is detracts from the Event Log.  Ignore the Event Log, and you'll miss a lot of things.  Also, as Nakisisa said, clicking Go To will start to head there, but then will go somewhere else because Go To has ADOS and will just go somewhere else on its own, which leaves you wondering what was destroyed with no easy way to find out.

Sometimes I hear the crash sound of an outpost being destroyed but there doesn't seem to be any easy way to tell which one was attacked.   Clicking on the "there are monsters in your territory" usually gives a clue but it would be best if there was an even log button you could toggle.  

 

We need a "some resourses were destroyed, click here to cycle through them" that lasts the turn.
