Short, but easy.
When I am fighting a hive with my turrets, it happens (a lot/regularly), that those turrets get damaged. Everytime they get damaged, I hear the alert. Sometimes every five seconds.
First it is bothering, second I do not notice, if another edge of my empire is getting attacked.
I would prefer a checkbox in the sound options where I can check, if I want to hear alert sounds, if the damage is done on the actual screen/on some radius around my avatar.
The effect: less bothering on assaults and more information, if another corner of the base is in danger.

Hi,

Added your suggestion here : viewtopic.php?f=80&t=16566

Isn't this already the case... or am I just imagining things?

I just checked again every point under options and to your question: No, there is noch checkbox. In the sound options you only have sliders, so you can only adjust the alert sound globally.

Not a checkbox, just game behavior I mean. While perhaps not always the case, I find that the alert noises tend to not activate as much when the damage is being dealt on screen.

My experience is different. Two days ago, I didn't notice at first, that some bugs disassembled one of my outposts, because I was fighting a hive and my turrets got damaged.

It is the damage to combat robots that is not alerted be they on screen or not.
