Declaration of war + Surprise attack reporting in news

I feel like, too many times, players with huge empires won't notice that they've been invaded by someone.

If a player invades or declares war on you, it should appear in the newspaper as it does now, but it should also have a notification next to the newspaper icon, which will attract attention to the player, who will then read it and figure out that he's just been attacked. Warm up those tanks!

If you don't have time to read the entire paper, you should at least read what the "myself" filter offers. At least once a day, but every time you log in is better.

Yes It should give you a notification when ANY player attacks anyone, just for future reference

Let see, checking if unwanted guests have entered your territory...
Checking to see if your border is hashed...
Checking your coasts for unwanted landings...
Checking for new red hued units...
Checking the diplomacy tab...
Checking the paper under 'Myself'...
Etc...
Etc.

All currently available, AND, recommended procedures...

All you offer is laziness for those who can't bother to log in for more then a minute/game, and it will be as ignored as all the both listed things you can ALREADY do. (All of which I will note an smart player does as soon as they log in.)
