Hey everyone, its been a while.
Anyway, i wanted to suggest maybe a message in the newspaper when an individual war has ended. So if the Southern US occupied the Northern US, there would be a message in the newspaper to declare the North erradicated, or vise versa. Completely occupying a country just kinda seems bland and sudden, when the enemies last province is gone, its just done. It would be similar to the peace and end of game messages.
Not anything too important, just a suggestion. Good to talk to everyone again.

Something like - Today the Southern United States has succeeded in reuniting all the states under her rightful government with the capture of [insert last province name here]. Or Egypt has reclaimed her place in the sun with the destruction of the last remaining cesspool of resistance in Morocco?
You could probably individualize the messages, but having a standard message is probably easier.
For example: "(insert country 1) has been completely occupied by (insert country 2). Today, the forces of (insert country 2) destroyed the final pieces of resistance in the (insert country 1) province of (insert province). The (insert country 1) leader, (insert name), was captured and executed."
But in general, I like this idea.
Yeah, I think it’s a good idea.
Not captured and executed, especially in the case of team games. I usually like to say surrender or have gone into exile. This way, the leaders won't just abruptly "ooh, they died" and have a better explanation. Other than that, I think this is good.DoctorDR1 wrote:

I would love this idea and i also think more pictures are need in the newspaper. They are really old and boring. Only 4 pictures everyday repeated again and again. 
Just a bit more coding here.
Such a news item would best mention exile. Sometimes a player still has troops and captures territory again. Then you would need another news item to report that.
Then the word "recapture" would be used.Nooberium wrote:

When the last province of a country is taken, you can see that on the map. Because... tadatataaaa [a fanfare]: It's no longer there 
.
If you're not sure whether there might still be an island province of the country somewhere and don't want to search a lot on the map, you can click on one of its opponents and then via the diplomacy menu check whether the war you're interested in is still ongoing. That's quicker than searching for a message in the newspaper.
So I would prefer NOT to have a message as suggested in this thread, since the newspaper is already very crowded - such an additional message would make it more laborous to extract the info out of it that you need to know AND cannot easily get from anywhere else.

a reformed regiment(Of course 2 or more units) from the survivors of [regiment] And [regiment](if there are anymore just add in has recaptured [province name].
It sometimes might become a little bit wearisome on a large map, yes. That's why I wrote a second paragraph:Nn gg wrote:

Additionally, don't forget the diplomacy screen since a while shows only countries that still own at least one province.Hans A. Pils wrote:

To sum it up: Such a new message in the newspaper would really be superfluous.
