The problem when adding big stacks in barracks.

We can now add 200 units instead of 25, this is by far one of the best updates in a long time, on paper anyway. Because you managed to make it more annoying than good. believe it or not.
First, when you add 200R, you will see 200x1 R added.
This means, you are constantly spammed with "unit completed"

Then you made it so we can move items up and down in que, but if I need to move a unit ahead I now have to move it 200 times, and every time I move it one space, I am sent to the top of the que.

I could also delete them, it would still be 200 clicks, but better, if not because you have now made so you can only click one at a time, and then you have to wait for it to update like when you place a buff and wait to be able to place the next.

If the stacks just were the size we added them it would the rest would be ok, though the moveing is a bit annoying, maybe a "move to top of que" would be nice

but as long as it adds 200X1 unit instead og 200 it is really annoying :/

I might have been a bit too fast there - I have to use both sliders, will help - would still like them to big stacks though, but will take care of my spamming when the ones I already added is done :)

I thought this was so obvious that nobody could get it wrong, especially with all the guides and information that have been posted.

Appears I was mistaken....

There was a really helpful thread posted here by Iolanthe which warned of the potential for this a few days before the new UI went live.

Be careful, a mod might clobber you over the head for spamming.
You know, BB spamming players is OK, vice versa ... bad bad bad.

But I still don't get why we couldn't simply get a text input like in the trade window where we can just click Recruits and say "2378".
Kinda messy having to find the nearest number by employing 2 sliders.
I mean, I frankly wouldn't care if the game translates those 2378 into 95x25 + 3, at least it wouldn't be so terribly messy.
Plus, why can we even move the sliders into "red regions"? In the trade, they could make the slider so we don't even have the option to sell more than we have.
Why can't we simply have an upper limit for the sliders at the amount of settlers/weapons/brew we have in store?

I guess BB is really good at implementing minimal solutions without considering usability.

good input Sharpielein +1 on that from me

there might be a bug with it though, when I went to bed yesterday it told me it have 21 hrs in que, now - 8-9 hrs later, I have 2 hours left of by buff, nothing in que, all troops made, even after I relogged.

Changing the "Move up one step" to "Move to top" would make a big difference (with no downside).
