"Under attack" warnings?

[Telenil]

Watching the WWWs, I've noticed that the player don't seem to get any warning about, say, a naval invasion in a remote corner of his empire. I don't mean about incoming ships, I mean once 10 infantry divisions are ashore. Were they disabled or is there no warning of the sort, period? If it is the latter, it strikes me as a little odd.
"Wait, how long have the Allies been landing in Normandy?
- About two weeks mein Führer. A hundrend thousand men and counting. Hadn't you noticed?
- No, I was busy giving orders on the Eastern Front."

Does anyone know?

The game has an invasion alert. its not that visible now sadly so easy to miss (doesnt blink or make noise). Its something we are fixing.

Particularly at the fast pace of the game, the back and forth mouse travel and clicking seems brutal in the WWW, though less than HOI3 I think.

As mentioned before, I think the game needs a browser-like "back to what I was doing" hotkey cycle to navigate among urgent tasks without a lot of scroling and hunting, especially for powers with forces worldwide. I would like to see how the alerts are used to help with this purpose. They work well in EU4.

Did he not get warnings on the right hand side of the screen about naval invasions, I also think he said that he missed the warning's because he was busy.

Good suggestion. What might be a good idea is that when you are looking at something you can snap that camera angle to a hotkey so you can easily toggle to it to look at the region again. Something along the lines of when you are looking at the French coast you could group it to a hotkey number or something like that so when you press the hotkey you come back to the French coast. That way you can snap points of view to different hotkeys and toggle between them to keep an eye out for your empire with ease. Might especially be useful for Britain, create a hotkey for India, Mainland, Commonwealth Partners, etc. etc.

You can actually see the warnings while they're playing in WWW, they're just not paying much attention to them since they're so busy.

If it's not there yet perhaps include a filter in the message system.
