Log Window

Description

| This window allows you to view the news events which have happened since your last turn (and on your last turn). Log items can be anything from a notification that a ship has been constructed to a summary of a battle that happened. Your log report helps you keep track of what other players are doing, and what is going on throughout your own empire. The Log Window will be displayed automatically at the beginning of your turn if there are new items to view. |
