Summary0004317: Some kind of announcement when ending turn if a new monster is rampaging.
DescriptionI often play several turns of the strategy part of the game at once, focusing on settlement management. I have to keep switching back to the strategy map to check for rampaging monsters, or risk a massacre because I didn't see them wander in.

A notification that something is nearby would save me from having to do this, and streamline settlement management.

It already gives you a confirm prompt on end-turn if rampaging monsters are 1 tile away from one of your settlement. I can see that you're asking for more than that (notification when they spawn), but wanted to make sure you knew about that.

I didn't know about that, actually. I've never let them get that close. A spawn announcement would be nice, but this is enough that I can stop worrying about rampaging monsters. Thanks. :-)

I support this, just a little note when they appear (not a pop-up, just in the console) would help a lot.

Yea, it's been asked elsewhere for notification within the interface of new monsters. I am planning to do that too, it's just tricky to squeeze more into that interface because it's supposed to work on 800x600 ;) I'll probably display it under the "Turn X" notice that shows up right after you click end turn, and have an "event log" button in the top-left set of buttons that's the same as the one you can get from the escape menu (and which tells you about new rampaging monsters and their demands).

Well, we don't actually show the console on that screen, no room :)

Whoops, I completely forgot to search for duplicates before I submitted this. Sorry. :-/
