Machinations is a real-time strategy game where you manage and direct swarms of ships to take over and destroy your enemies. Plan your attacks carefully to gain the the most tactically advantageous Nodes (space-stations which build and house your fleet). Upgrade your Nodes with defensive lasers or build shipyards to augment your fleet. Capture super-weapons to cut swathes through your enemies' fleet. Play against up to three AI players in frantic, randomised melees matches. Or complete the Campaign mode to help Admiral Sudo (your robotic commander) reclaim his lost empire.

Primarily I was thinking for multiplayer mode, it would be nice to know when another player has been nullified. Just a message like "Orange has been neutralised". Just to give you a bit more understanding of the progress of the game.

Yeah, we have wanted to do this for a while.

There are different levels of effort we could go to but you have motivated me to right now at least go and throw in a toast message (OS supported text that appears as a overlay briefly).

Also I will throw in a change so that teams are alive until they have no stations AND no ships, just for good measure :-)

Ah good, you agree that teams are still alive whilst they have only ships in play.
That's another bug I won't have to report (if I ever actually get around to submitting them :P)
