Overlay fading out "message" over the unit IMPLEMENTED

I thought of little textings that can appear over the unit and fades away while moving upward (flying up like a balloon)

tests written on them

- damage dealt on attacking (number eg: -24 and fades out as moving up.)
two types:
- white on targeted unit
- red on attacking unit dealt by the counterattack
- positive additions on hp or something, eg. on healing: +14 and fades out as moving up.
- "miss" text when a spell is "miss"ed because of spell resistance
---> same "miss" text should be shown when an attack dodged.
- poison/burn effects: also on poisoning/buring all burning buildings would show that -4 or -5 damage over the burning units on your turn start

That would save some time. I saw a discussion somewhere on froum that calculatkng stuff is part of game but tbh the mechanism of damage calculation is a bit blurry in some cases (like how does this thing round values?) and imo my time is too valuable (anyway I play on feelings mainly like probably a big part of players how doesn't want to waste time on calculating everything and I don't lose toooo much on that).

you misunderstood - this is not showed before attack, but after the attack showing the inflicted damages.

I assume that when we put the Skip Animations we won't see the numbers?

It doesn't always show miss text when i use spell on enemy or just miss him with attack because of dodges.

Otherwise i like the look of it.
