View Full Version : Send all explorers
Now we have lots of explorers it would be nice to be able to send them all at once, or however many you want, a bit like sending the generals to an adventure, it's rather tedious sending one at a time to do the same thing
Do you mean something like some sort of tick-box idea added to the star menu ?

I guess so
not sure i would use it much. during event they are in different types of search. off event they all looking for Adventures.
You can pin the window while you send the guys, seems good enough to me.
not a bad idea, would rather bb put their time into other stuff, like fixing queues in ph and barracks

Would be a great idea if we could select multiple Explorers and then send them on the search, just like we can select generals to send to an adventure.
It can be a real pain when you have 20+ Explorers and have to select 1 explorer and send him on his search and then do the same for each one.
Waiting in anticipation for feedback from other players.
Merged.
Great idea here, may help reduce the multiple click injuries :)

Could be an idea for a future update if BB have time. Still a good game to play for sure
Plenty of support for this idea here (http://forum.thesettlersonline.com/threads/34784-Send-all-explorers).

I don't think this function would be good into star menu. I have better idea.
First: There is the tavern interface, there would be good for that function. Tab pages (like in provision house) or just a ... button near the explorer (in the tavern) and a new explorer task window open.
Second:Near the star menu there is the ranking. The ranking menu would be move into pvp window (under the avatar there is a pvp lvl ... button) If ranking there isn't then the explorer button would be enough place there.

That would be a great idea

I agree.
That way we could send XY&Z off looking for adventures and AB&C off on extra long treasure and K&L on long search.
Even if could be for explorers as well
I agree. Having lots of explorers, is a real pain. The worst part of the day, when you have to click every single one.
I've actually suggested this before and I still think it's a great idea !! I am a simple man that just send all explorers to the same searth: either prolonged treasure search or the very long adventure search. If you want to differentiate your searches, you can just use the interface as it is given right now.
I'd actually like to add to the suggestion: When the explorers come back, it would be nice if you could just tick all the treasure reports off and then accept all at once, instead of selecting and accepting them one at a time. If BB want an extra challenge on this, they could make a window summing up the loot you have found on the treasure / adventure search as you tick the mails off.
It would make things a lot easier ..

Unfortunately the devs have already looked a accept all at once, they found the performance hit from doing this to be unacceptable.

Bummer :-/ ... would have been nice to avoid the mouse clicks.... But I defenitely still would like to be able to click all the relevant explorers off and send them on the same search :-)
It was fine for me at the beginning sending explorers 1 by 1 on same treasure searches. With level I also gained more explorers and I find it quite time consuming not being able to send them all together at once.
Consider it like sending generals to an adventure something like that. Pick treasure search, select long/short,... Mark available explorers and off we go.
I would really like to see something like that in the game;) .

If the problem is to send them at the same time they could just make sending queue where we would put them at the same time but explorers would be sent by lets say 5s delays between each other.

Or, more radically, people could accept that if they have a lot of explorers then it takes a while to send them all but that we gain a lot from having so many (Got all that anyone could have). You could not send half of them if it's such hard work.

Yet 5 sec delay is longer than it takes to send manually so there would be less load. :rolleyes:

People are lazy and will always try to find a way to make an easier way for everything and that is not a bad thing. So why not ask for a shortcut to send multiple scouts at fewer clicks.
There is an interface for generals. Just copy it and tweak the next step to include type of search.
We got the move up button for baracks/provision/RPH - the next step to make the game easier for bulk actions is multi scout send.
IT'S a YES from me!

BB could make a fortune in gems by offering a building that allows automatic resending of explorers/geologists
This is one more for dev to think about it.
I personally send my explorers on different missions because of their abilities I also sometimes mistaken which explorer I'm sending out.
Could you make it that we would save mission preference for that explorer and then we would have a simple resend button so that we could send it all over again on the same mission.
I think this option would be even better than multiple sending.
