Is it possible to set preferences about what empire notifications you get? Just I keep getting around loads of pages of notices (saying something researched, or built) each time I log in, and end up missing the important information like alliance join requests.

This morning I had 18 pages of notices, and just deleted them all, because I didnt want to read through them all. Now I realised I had an alliance join request, but dont know when it was sent...

Also, for battles, could a single notice be added when the battle starts, not a notice every turn the battle continues...because thats annoying also. Maybe have a preferenc for 'notify once' or 'notify every x turns' for battles, so player can decide how often to get a notice about it.

I have another solution to solve this problem. There will be a possibility to filter notifications by their type.

That still requires you to search though, and select filter options etc, and honesty, even then its unlikly that people will. If a notice is displayed on first page, it gets attention, if not, it won't.

Also, depending on situation, certain notices are useful at different times. near start, a col ship building is useful to know, but later when your building 100 corvettes for example, its annoying

Maybe, grouping similar announcements is good, just show one with a + sign by it, and if expanded, all other show.

So for example, if I have 100 buildings complete on planets, just show 'Construction of Buildings Finished' and an expand option, where all 100 results will be displayed if + is clicked.

This works well for battles also, one will display, and you wont have one shown for every turn.

Might be a solution too I'll see what fits better
