History Creation?

[Firespirit]

I thought this up earlier; I was wondering what other ppl would think of it. Do you think it would be good/useful/fun if, in their next patch/mod/player created mod, they could include a Storyline option.
This would allow the player to type in a history of a majorevent every time it happened; e.g the destruction of an enemy captial, it'd give you an option to type up a history to go with that event.
Once you'd finished the game, the game would compile all the stuff you typed in into one wordpad document, and put the date of it on each entry.
Maybe also an option toenter somthing whenever you like, for things it'd be hard for the computer to notice, or maybe only one of them would be important - like securing a supply of dye in the 17th century using a colony, allowing you to trade with immese success (yours is the only supply in miles)

hmmmn maybe. Make it only an option tho, and set to off, or else people would become unhappy, and there would be rioting

 

[Firespirit]

Yeah, I was thinking that too. Alot of ppl wouldn't like to be interrupted every few turns, ordered to fill in a 1000 words. Still, a menu for them to put a a few entrys would be useful; e.g the ICBM that wiped out the Roman's prize Battleship.

alt-tab

I would like to see something that keeps track of every time you bombard a city and population is lost. It should also track every time I starve foreign nationals. Then when the game is over it could tell me exactly how many foreign nationals I killed.

Also would like to see the game track of how many years of slave labor I used.

Edited to fix all those stupid pronoun changes between first and second person.

lol, do you want how many forign nationals you killed via slave labour too? And I'd imagine you wouldn't alt - tab every turn and type summin in wordpad/notepad/word/ect. And the date. And the time. And-loads-of-other-stuff-I-havn't-thought-up-yet.

I would like the game to keep track of most events and smilies to express moods. Some suggestions:

Screwed AI
Succesfull campaign
Looking for targets
Lost city
Peace treaty
:slay: AI Civ destroyed
:rocket: Declare war
Milking game
