You can not create pop up window, but you can make a flash message, just as when no time units left.
It can be done via scripting:
Code: [Select]
            battle_game.flashMessage "STR_TEXT_STRING" NumericVariable; #Display text string and numeric variable

is it possible to extends the flash duration on screen?
