The implementation of Trade has resulted in the removal of System-generated IGM's that alert the player that a shipment has arrived at one of their towns. This has caused me some inconvenience!! from time to time, losing track of what resources are in transit vs what has arrived. Please restore them! As an enhancement to those messages, would you please also include the name of the town that received those goods. |

The trade related IGM were removed because many found them annoying. I tend to agree, and prefer it the way it's now, but what we need is probably an option panel where to enable/disable specific IGM: trade, gathering, etc, the more detailed the better. ------------- http://elgea.illyriad.co.uk/a/p/129903" rel="nofollow">

I wish there were a way to better manage notifications in general -- make them more like a searchable database so that I could find all references to "brascan seed" or "City No. 2" or whatever. And I think this belongs in the suggestions forum.

I'm glad that I get far less pointless system messages. I'm anyway always switching from mails to notifications, and back again, to get rid of the "blue" number (= unread notifications). So if something happens while I'm online and watching notifications are good enough. Various features could be added, as suggested by Rill, e.g., using Ctrl-F (browser search) to find the last known number of surviving rare herbs at map location x|y is clumsy. However, the arrival of unusual vans, gifts or tax-free player to player trades, still deserves a system message. Likewise gatherers killed at work meanwhile get a system message, but gatherers killed on arrival get only a notification: From my POV both events are unusual enough to trigger a system message. |
