News messages

[SMALL NEWS MESSAGES AT BOTTOM OF SCREEN]

 

The News part of a player application is used to show short news messages. These messages are either preprogrammed for the scenario of the game you are playing, or they are created for you by the game leader.

 

[LARGE MESSAGES VIA MENU]

 

In contrast with small news messages, large news messages are used to present a larger amount of information to players. These messages typically inform a player about a certain event, for example a growth in economy. Furthermore these messages are used to present market information on a regular basis (e.g. on a quarterly basis). In order to retrieve the screen with the large messages, select the 'News messages' menu item from the top menu.

 

On the left part of a news message an indication is given on the region of interest, and an image is used to visually support the content of a message. In the middle the actual content of a message is shown. On the right part of the screen a list with received messages is shown, in an descending order.
