When displaying long numbers please use a thousands seperator.
In the image above the first line is bad, the second (and last) is good.

Also, as any dev who might work on this should see (formatting numbers is probably your second or third programming homework, after Hello World!) if you make a function/procedure/routine/whatchamacallit for displaying numbers it should take care of both formatting and (optional) shortening numbers (https://forum.thesettlersonline.com/threads/39528-Shortening-numbers-how-to-easily-improve-the-game?p=374637#post374637) (ref. yesterdays post).
Having a mix of styles as in the first image is just ... embarrassing.
Apologies, this was unplanned, if I'd known in advance I might have combined this with yesterday's post.

My original wish and intent was to create a thread with one "Innits how to easily improve the game" suggestion a day. I think I have enough to last a lifetime. Having read this subforums guidelines I reluctantly will not (for now). I would be less reluctant if I thought anyone from BB actually read and listened to these suggestions - if they did we would have had a way to mass send explorers years ago. :mad:
