Quite often do I find myself working the invasion by myself only to have the champ stolen by what are often vet players when the champ's arrival is made on the global announcement.  Can this be changed to announce on a smaller scale, more locally, instead of globally?  I feel this would also encourage people doing the invasions instead of waiting for the global announcement to steal the champ away.

Agree completely. The default method for this is terrible. Rewards laziness and deviant behavior.

A possible approach would be GetMobiles() for the invaded town region, select for PlayerMobiles on the list, and send that specific list a message/broadcast when the conditions are met, rather than just a server-wide broadcast. Won't be 100% perfect if players wander outside the town region in search of the last straggling invaders, but it'll be a sight better than it is currently.

   I agree with Solonar, and believe that the only warning for an invasion should be that there is an invasion going on and nothing else.

  Please cut out the last warning, that says such and such [boss name] has spawned.

  However, if a certain amount of time has passed, say 5 to 10 minutes, I would agree that a warning would be realistic, and possibly helpful.

I will look into the warning system and see what we can do to give players who attend the event get a little more exclusive access and people are less likely to come and take the champ.
