Hi all,

Another (relatively) minor suggestion here. I just noticed that with dex bots fighting together, the fight logs can be quite cluttered and it's kinda hard to see what's going on with all the blocks/misses etc. This is mainly due to one thing i think: for hits and misses, the bot with the opportunity is first named. However, with block the defending bot is first named. This could simply be rephrased so that the attacker is first, in which case the bot with the attempt is always named first which i think would order the fight log much more :)

If it would be my attempt, logs would be made this way:

hit:
Mainor sent RiggsonINT back as metal strips to the workshop with its equalizer. (212 damage)
miss:
Mainor missed RiggsonINT.
block however:
RiggsonINT blocked Mainor!

Rephrasing this to Mainor's attempt was blocked by RiggsonINT would be a lot better :)

I like this suggestion a lot, it makes it immediately obvious what type of bot you're fighting :)

I like this suggestion too, it would make fights easier to follow as the text is jumping up all the time with each turn.

bumpity... re-read this and i still think it is a (very) easy and viable improvent... any thoughts?

I do like the idea of having the fight instigator's name always on the far left side of the screen.

This is done now. All attempts now show the attacker's name first.

I always thought it was strange blocks were like that, I just didn't question it :P

Unnecessary use of a comma, sir. (or the word and)
