Colors in Game Log

[Robinette]

So i often find it difficult to review the action that has occured in the game log...
Just look at the blur of activity at just one players recent move...

12/28/10 05:47:29 SG Player Icon SG Reinforced Norway with 2 units from Western Aussie
12/28/10 05:47:07 SG Player Icon SG Reinforced Caucasia with 2 units from Wilkes Land
12/28/10 05:46:30 SG Player Icon SG Reinforced Ukraine with 2 units from British Columbia
12/28/10 05:45:05 SG Player Icon SG Took Balkans from landmine
12/28/10 05:44:49 SG Player Icon SG Took Ukraine from AAFitz
12/28/10 05:44:34 SG Player Icon SG Took Iran from landmine

12/28/10 05:42:54 SG Player Icon SG Deployed 2 units on New Zealand North
12/28/10 05:42:45 SG Player Icon SG Acquired 7 units for 21 regions
12/28/10 05:42:45 SG Player Icon SG Awarded 4 units for occupation of Western Russia
12/28/10 05:42:45 SG Player Icon SG Awarded 1 units for occupation of Scandanavia
12/28/10 05:42:45 SG Player Icon SG Turn started
12/28/10 03:52:36 SG Player Icon SG Waiting for player...
--ROUND 3--

If the deploys could be, say, GREEN
And the attacks be in... mnnn oh, RED
and reinforcements in.... BLUE perhaps

So instead of what's above, it would look like this:

12/28/10 05:47:30 SG Player Icon SG Turn Ended

I think that is much easier to see what you want to see, and to see it quickly...

What do you think?

 

[mapguy]

Most excellent idea.

 

[ORBOTRON]

good idea

 

[mapguy]

another idea if it is not too much trouble is to also color code the player names in the record.

i agree wholeheartedly
