Historical Log

Post by tonystowe »

DEV's: Does SR2010 create a "historical log" of the major events that have occured during the course of a game. Major events, IMO, such as DoW, treaties, total control over one country by another, etc.???

My reason for asking is that I like to review the timelines and events, currently made long-hand by myself, in an attempt to improve my games.

Thanks

Tony

No it does not, but this has been big on my wishlist for future titles. It would certainly add to the feeling of "accomplishement".

I agree and I believe that most people would enjoy using such historical data for their AAR's and other reasons.

The game already has a semi-log being produced in the News and Information (F9) area but its limited. Everything now listed in the N&I area would be of interest in a one over the world view of what has occured in the game. The tracking of that information would best serve the player, IMO, in three month increments (or whatever).

We have the intention of reviewing everything that is currently sent to the log and what could be sent to it. I would also expect we would provide either in in game option or at least an INI option to set the log for low/med/high details.

Sounds good and being who I am, I would like an option to view the file during the game and a way to print it would be cool to.
