Unofficialcrusaderpatch: Play AI messages even when human player is not directly involved

[Heroesflorian]

Currently, many AI messages are not played ingame when the AI is not interacting with the human player.
When spectating an AI battle, there's not much messaging going on and when playing with multiple different AIs in several teams, many messages "between the AI" are not played either.

I think it would be interesting to have an option to always play the AI messages even without direct involvement of the human player.

Not a hard thing to change, but messages are directed for a reason. It helps players recognize situations and notify them of certain events such as attack. If we direct everything to everyone, then it will become really annoying as you will recieve information you not necessarily care about.

Well for AI battles I assume it would be benefitial. For regular skirmish I agree it might be "too much information" depending on the constellation and personal preference.
But the good thing about the UCP options is that they're all optional and you can make enable or disable every change.

Could you list specific AI messages that you have in mind, that are not played rright now, and should be played even when spectating?

[Heroesflorian]

Not sure that falls under "specific", but I personally would like "all of them". It would just make the AI vs AI games more vivid in general and would also provide hints about what is happening even when elsewhere on the map with the visuals.
