Easy and important improvement on chatting options.

Hello,

I am new at this game and I really enjoyed my first game. We played and communicated a lot through the diplomacy tab --> Messages and Transaction with the coalition chat. I'm currently playing my second game now and I am playing alliance this time, so team vs. team. It's quite same thing as the game before but there is now no way to communicate to my whole team??? Am I missing something or is it just something easy to fix and would improve a lot the cooperation between people in the team?

I can talk to each individually but not to the team... Help us!

Very true, and you cannot even create a coalition and use that comm channel either. Currently, a serious hampering in communications for team games.

K. Rokossovski, Do you have contact with the bytro team to fix this? If we could at least create a coalition like you said, that would be a good quick fix.

Team maps have teams, so coalitions are not built into those maps. I'll bring it up with the developers that team games might need a team chat channel to be available, or a team diplomacy message built into the map for each team.

Indeed.

In the mean time, consider using regular email or COW email (available on the COW main page, under the "Messages" tab), either of which will permit you to communicate with all of your team/alliance/coalition members at the same time, and are not subject to being intercepted by opposing players using the in-game espionage functions.

Thank you WiseOdin, appreciated.

I really hope they add that

They used to have an in-game chat, but they removed it. I don't know why, maybe nobody was using it. But I think that they should bring it back so that if you want to notify people in your own game about something, it doesn't cause confusion in global chat.

You wouldn't want a general in-game chat, either, if it were used to harass, insult, and spam.

a general game chat wont be used like that by most players and spamming on coalition chat since sometimes you dont get notified by spamming

We totally agree that this makes playing as a team a bit more complicated than it has to be. At this point though I don't have any details on when we will be implementing this.

Thanks for the feedback though!
