In-game Announcments

When there is a new update there should be a popup ingame with a title, brief description of the update, and link to the full thread.

There is always an announcement during the actual update as the server goes down.

What could (and should) be done is client tracking the last time you logged on and showing you all the updates since that time.

But that's not a feature I'd expect from a game in alpha stage...

Arguable that the difference between alpha and later version is degree of polish. This is definite polish feature. And I assume it is not difficult for adding.

In general I think any ease of use feature is good to add.

This. First time you login an account after the update.

Way to many miss them, not everyone plays H&H fulltime...

I logged on to see a Walrus across the water, and was like, "Wow didn't know they added those last world too."

An ingame news pop-up could be something.

Maybe look at what ambermdoes for updates, just with the last date the account logged in.

My suggestion would be this: create a button on the options menu titled "Patch Notes" clicking this button will open your browser to the announcements board and everyone can check the latest patch notes there?
