Summary0015038: Alert system could use more options in terms of strength of notification
DescriptionSummary: Auto pause and significant visual indiciation when manually configured events are triggered(ie X enemies in a system and a new wave targeted for one of your systems) as well as ability to configure sounds for these 2 specific events.

I have been enjoying this game as of late, but I keep missing important notifications which often leads to a game loss over something that is just an oversight rather then a failure in my strategy. I would like to be able to change the alert system to have an auto-pause and something that is impossible to miss on screen. Also the audio notifications seem inconsistent or are just not what they appear to be. I copied an audio file that was quite loud in place of a few of the alert files but I do not hear this play when a new wave is coming to me or when a manually configured alert is triggered. I hear it sometimes so its just not clear to me what its for and how to make those previously mentioned 2 things trigger specific sound effects so they are more noticable.

Thanks for making this game. I also bought TLF and think your games are quite unique and interesting.

Edit: Also a general system wide slider that you can set where if the attack # is higher then this it will sound an alert. Will need something to make it stop happening during a long assault.

An audible alert option for certain would be appreciated, as it is easy to miss the notification in the stack of notifications in the top left.
