Combat logs?
How do you open up the combat logs in this version? It was just a simple keybind in the original, can't find it here.

Not talking about clicking an announcement to see one specific combat log, I mean the list of ALL combat logs.

There is no master list of messages or reports anymore. Once you dismiss it it's gone

Yeah, kinda wild that if you accidentally right click that's just it for you. Hopefully that comes in an update down the road.

Yeah there's been more and more posts about this. Not sure where would be best to raise the issue but seems to be bothering quite a lot of players.

The old combat logs were a big part of the story telling.

On a side note, if combat started in the old version (I can't remember) did it pause the game? I swear I end up completely missing out when anything happens in this version.

ya i got into the game with this release, watched some videos/guides. quickly realized this was missing and I'm putting the game down to come back and get into it/learn it once its here. Following the story, the exact events, combat turn by turn etc etc - this kind of detail is why im playing this and not something else. The fact this isn't here, is a huge turn off!

I can tell this is an amazing game, and I know its a super small team - I'm sure they'll get it added.

But im stepping away until they do, i want to learn this game and delve into it with those kind of abilities to follow along, and I'm just not into the ASCII graphics of the original, so. Here's to hoping its added in soon!

that is ♥♥♥♥♥♥
Eh. Usually if there is any military action going on I'm going to be watching anyway. I do miss the combat log though. I did train an entire squad of hammerlords after all.
As far as I know, they are already working on that, because they need it for the adventure mode

It's going to get done pretty soon. Something or other delayed things, so there wasn't time to do the logs.

The missing logs plus no annoucement for caravans are the 2 things that made me not play the Steam version anymore. The messed up logs make it impossible to kill werebeasts with military, at least I couldn't figure out how to make sure if anybody had been bitten.

I think I am going back to the swan man necromancer adventurer I started on in the previous version.

But it will get fixed pretty soon.

Yeah, it's one of the many things they have on a list to finish from what they said in recent interviews.

in meantime you can try MRAU UI.

MRAU UI

It has combat log and you can check health status of your citizens. It is new so there are some bugs but who cares since vanilla alternative is nothing atm.
