Summary0016364: Warning of encroaching race
DescriptionCould we get an alert whenever any building of a race is placed closer than the previously most distant building of that race?

That way I know when the Thoraxians are looking in my direction, and can deal with it.

The following might work.
Calculate distance between a new foreign building (being built in LOS, or revealed from fog). Compare to a stored variable of the distance from the player to the previous closest building. If closer, then trigger alert and reset most closest. If further, no action.

Alternative that might work.
Set a zone around the player equal to the farther range of military striking. If any building (or any military building) is built within this zone, trigger the alert.
TagsNo tags attached.

You won't be surprise attacked by anyone anymore thanks to international incidents, which do give you warning. In those cases you'll know you have the possibility of being in a fight, and with who, though not where from. AIs getting near to you via just constructing stuff I don't think warrants a warning at this point.
