make all modal dialogs closable by mouseclick outside of them

[DeletedUser9419]

there are some modal dialogs that can only be closed by clicking on the 'ok' or 'close' button, like the army overview after a fight and the notification that a neighbour you tried to attack has a city shield up. there might be more, but those 2 are the most annoying to me

Those two mentioned above are not important enough to force the user to use OK/Close buttons.
(Only things like "Do you want to rescue your account? Dismissing this dialogue will send it to eternity." should be somewhat more sticky ^^)

I've asked support about this too. They gave a good reason for restricting dismissal to the Ok/Close button at the end of the battle, you might want to revive/ killed units by purchasing diaomonds.
Apart from that one, I fully agree that a click on the background should result in modal dialog dismissal. Especially the "offers" that require purchasing diamonds are annoying that they can only be dismissed with "Ok/Close" buttons!

actually, isn't the definition of a modal dialog that you should *never* be able to close them by clicking on the background?

The definition of a modal dialog is that you can't interact with anything else [in the background] until you dismiss/close that dialog by any means. So in fact all windows/dialogs are modal in FoE (except for the chat, if you want do count that as a dialog).
The only difference is the grade of obstinacy while trying to get rid of it...
