I suggest that the ticker reports more events. Here are the events which should be reported by the ticker, too:

• hog %1 gets sick
• hog %1 gets cured from sickness
• hog %1 was resurrected by hog %2
• AI-controlled hog %1 was resurrected by game
• hog %1 dies from its own kamikaze
• hog %1 makes a time-travel
• hog %1 returns from time-travel
• hog %1 runs out of time
• hog %1 killed 1 or more hogs in its turn (message appears after the turn; maybe the engine could use different messages for different numbers of killed hogs)
• team %1 has been wiped out
• hog %1, the king of team %2, dies of health loss (replaces normal death event)
• hog %1, the king of team %2, drowns (replaces normal drown event)
• hog %1, the king of team %2, dies in its own turn due to stupidity (replaces normal stupidity event)

"%1" and "%2" are replaced by the actual hog/team names of course.
