I would love to have this feature in a WC2 patch.  So as soon as your
unit with the best sight sees an enemy, you get notified with sound.
Usually I end up hearing about the attack, when the first guys get
damaged.  By the time ai get there several of my peons/archers/mages are
dead, and my Ogres across the complex can't be mobilized in time to help
defend.

But if I build guard towers, I would like to think they are doing some
good with their extra scounting.
