Newspaper

Post by Trilarion »

It might be too early to think about it, but before I forget it again:

We have to decide what we want in the newspaper?

- News about important events in the world/your nation
- News about technology being available
- ...
- Link to statistics screen (this would make the newspaper more important) or quick links to other parts of your empire
- Historical notes of interest (so a chance to learn something?, only for the historical scenarios)

And then we need templates for the single news messages.

It's not top priority but if someone wants to contribute something...

well just off the top of my head one of the most important "historical" new articles for a historical scenario in 1814 would be the congress of vienna which officially brought an end to Napoleon's french empire and set the stage for the "Concert of Europe" which led all the way up to the first world war

Basicly what was in Imp1's newspaper, but with more variation and more content. Reading it became repetitive really quick in Imp, because there wasn't much content to begin with.

The quick links are a great innovation of this feature and will help improve the user experience.

Funny idea, we could use it in case there happens to be a global war.

"War declared by all, Ottoman Empire almost declares War on itself"
