... it seems pretty impossible from what I understand.

What I wanted to do is add "xxx(current score) / xxx(objective)" at the end of message "An xxx empire/alliance is close to achieving victory (typeOfVictory)"

So, I looked into files and, unless I'm doing this wrong, found two major problems :

- it seems you can not put VictoryConditionDefinitions.xml expressions in ES2_Localisation_Locales.xml.

like

 <LocalizationPair Name="%NotificationVictoryImminentDescriptionUnknown">An {0}unknown#REVERT# empire is close to achieving victory ({1})</LocalizationPair>

going

<LocalizationPair Name="%NotificationVictoryImminentDescriptionUnknown">An {0}unknown#REVERT# empire is close to achieving victory ({1}) ({2}/{3})</LocalizationPair>

which {2} is Property(Empire, EmpireMoneyAccumulator)

and {3} is Property(VictoryManager, VictoryEconomyDustThreshold)

The 2nd problem is I don't know how to choose Solo or alliance expression, like kind of where to include an "if" in order to choose, for exemple

Property(Empire, EmpireMoneyAccumulator)

or

$(SummedMajorEmpiresScore)

to put the correct expression.

I checked VictoryConditionDefinition.xsd but I didn't find something usefull to add an "if" in order to choose the correct expression.

Is my idea doable ?

Thanks !

Thanks for the answer MonAmiral.

The main goal of this idea is to know how close is the empire/alliance to the victory (halfway, 3/4 close, etc).

The game provide a rough information about that, and we can mark down the progression on a paper, but it goes difficult when alliances are created.

For exemple, in my last game, I got messages an empire was close to victory, after some turns I got a message another empire was close to victory, after some turns the 1st empire was closer to victory, then the 2 empires created an alliance (new message about alliance was close to victory), and at this moment I could not know how close they were to victory (halfway ? 3/4 ?)

As the game progressed, I (with another empire) was finnaly begin to steamroll the galaxy, only to be defeated a very few turns before our victory... a bit frustating.

I put an idea, but so far it seems it is not very successfull.
