Not sure if this idea has been thought of yet, but I think it would maybe add alot of realism and immersion to the game. I'd like to see some kinda real time news reporter type scroll or banner at the bottom giving you detailed updates on what your units are doing. Let's take the modern media and present day Iraq as a example. I'm playing the U.S., and I move some tanks into Iraqi territory... I dont just get a message saying "U.S. has declared war on Iraq", I get a message stating that "tensions are rising between the U.S. and Iraq, and things could escalate, but the Iraqi government is holding strong", and with each successor turn afterwards, continuous updates on the status of the situation. Basically something that explains the purpose and actions of current relations, instead of just generic "at war" and "at peace" messages. Perhaps even random newsbits that talk about "unusual nuclear or military buildup in so and so nation, are they planning something?"
 
That would be kinda cool, something like the newspaper in Sim City as the modern equivalent to those ancient world rankings.
 
How about Geraldo Rivera be the American replacement for the News Reporter? His unique ability is he draws maps in the dirt which help the enemy. :lol:
