#Notification of Defeated City state is useless

The notification of a City State is defeated is useless for 2 reasons at the moment :

  • The "discrepancy" between people name and city name is not helping associating which city has been defeated. The notification talks about the people defeated, while we mainly see the city name on the map (only see the people's name when clicking the city or seeing one of their units (which also make it not easy to know where it's from at first glance...). Ex: Helsinki of the Finnish people when defeated will say "the Finnish have been defeated"
  • When clicking it with left click, it just dismisses it... It doesnt locate where it is on the map. This is okay if it was "an unmet city state has been defeated" as we shouldnt know where it was since we didnt meet them. But at least for known cities, clicking the notification should direct you to where the city is

I agree!

However, this is a bug: when IA becomes sovereign of a city-state, clicking on the notification takes you to that tile even if it is in unknown territory.

There is another bug about this: if IA incorporates the city-state into their civilization, the game still says "Finnish people were defeated" or something like that, same message as if it had been razed

  • yeah this works but that's a different issue I'm pointing at haha
  • yeah that is annoying as well, it's like playing hide and seek with the city state... Was it really defeated or was it incorporated ?

This issue was not resolved in update 1.4.

Yesterday I received a notification that someone (independent power) was defeated, but it is not possible to know:

  1. whether it was destroyed and by which civ
  2. whether it was annexed by another civ and which one
  3. which independent power we’re talking about and where it is or was, because when I click on the notification, it disappears without pointing the map to the correct tile

It seems like a simple fix to me and would improve immersion.

For point 3, i can understand that if you havent met the IP, it shouldnt show you where it was / who it was
