Default Re: Custom Text, status, & ending combat

Its official, I put in my account info so as to put in the official request in sourceforge for this (word for word):

Custom Text and question while in combat
I think this is an advanced feature and not necessary for version 1.0.

That being said, heres what I propose:
During combat, the designer has custom text in a yes/no question pop up onscreen and combat action pauses while awaiting a one-keystroke answer. This one keystroke answer evaluates to true if "y" and false if anything else.

Use:
lets say thru a twist of fate you end up squaring off in combat against the members of the night watch. Then as the combat initiates and you take a beating, then at the end/beginning of a round (determined by designer) a text message appears saying "surrender and we will let you keep your miserable lives!!!" and then below says "surrender yes/no", at which you can press "y" and it ends combat.
