I think you got to understand the limitations of the engine on which this game is built on. It seems to me to make larger troop amount they would probably need to create an advanced barracks in which to do it.
Also this game is built on flash which, if not dying, is definitely in decline compared to the now more popular HTML5. As a company it would make a lot of sense for BB to start pulling resources out of old technology.
Does anyone know if Anno is also flash?
if anything it could be same as making settlers, I can make 625! settlers at once, but only 25 troops? BB doesn't support blocking, please anybody tell me how many troops do I need to create to finish Heroic little tailor without any blocks? if this is not gonna change soon I will stop playing this game cos the troop building is just too silly
If some developer HARD-CODED 25 troops into the CORE ENGINE, then it's definitely time to keelhaul someone.Originally Posted by Stoof
Imagine if you wanted to do online banking but your bank only allowed you to transfer 1-25 cents per transaction - and now you want your monthly salary.
Even if it were hardcoded (which may well be, even though it's pure insanity) then it should be refactored sooner or later, but believe me: it's not an innate problem of Flash, because otherwise we also couldn't load 200 troops onto a General or sell 10000 Fish in the Trade Office. It *can* be done. Question is mostly if they *care* to do it.
I will sooner or later make a video of me restocking troops after 2x HLT, then post it on youtube with an advertisement "Want to play a cool online game? Enjoy the fun ..." then recruit, 25,ok,recruit, 25,ok,recruit, 25,ok,recruit, 25,ok ... for 15 minutes nonstop.
Maybe the devs will enjoy the show
I know you all wanted an update on this but there is none at this point.
I passed on and have been passing on your wishes in regards to having this done (since this is the most popular suggestion on the forum at this point from what I could gather).
I will update you as soon as I have any info.
The important question is WHY is there no news on this? Surely someone in the development team has an opinion on it? The failure to share that opinion is, to my mind, a failure.
Are you a casual or part-time player? Don't want a chatty guild or expect lots of support?
And do you want the chance to earn a few guild coins but don't want to be forced to do guild quests on a daily basis?

This thread has a start date of 28/12/2012 why is there no news? we are fast approaching two years!! disgraceful.
they dont want to impIiment anything new because if its free then they have to spend time fixing the bugs that come with it effectivIy for nothing, where as granite pit, imp siIo events earn money i dont reaIIy think they care much about IoyaI pIayers that have been here years and supported/spent money on the game anymore the game in my eyes is dying a horribIe death untiI they make some big changes or actuaIIy get back to us on whats going on in terms of the way forward for settIers in any case they need to stop being so Iame and puII their fingers out before peopIe start giving them bad press
very disgraceful, for too long this issue has been ignored there is something pretty wrong with the barracks, and still nothing has been done about it. i totally stop playing adventures all together . i log in everyday , because my guild, but even so, i just don t have the spirit of rebuilding the troops , so boring
1. There wont be any developers allocated to this game to make this change. Read my other thread
2. BB_Ravel has no say in what happens. He is community liaison, don't blame him. Likewise blaming "the developers". They just do what they are told. Behind the scenes is Manager-A who will have taken the suggestion BB_Ravel gave him and put it on his desk with 1000 other things and forgotten it because he is focused on more important matters.
3. This is not urgent, it is a nice to have. Therefore it doesn't matter. Urgent things are things like bugs or exploits or non functioning items. You have been living with this for years now and you still play so Manager-A sees no urgency to change it. It will cost him time and money and he gets back.... your happyness. He doesn't care about that.
4. Games are all about stats. Manager-A will be going into meetings and telling people stats such as "72% of our gamers play for at least 8 hours a day" and "86% of our gamers log in on a daily basis" these stats are G O L D to him and to BB. They get future funding based on this. It is their world!!!!! They make the game sound wonderful to shareholders / investors / press. There will be little motivation to introduce a feature that is likely to diminish these stats. These stats are so important that they wouldn't even care if you quit because of it, because losing 1 or 2 gamers is nothing compared to the importance of these stats.
The problem it, that when the man is bored already and comes here to write ideas onto the forum and reads one like this, maybe his mood goes away. A year ago, I play the game, love the game, but a little sad to see this, that such a seemingly little thing we can not respond to requests for two years.
Over the year a lot has changed, but honestly I would like to exchange some improvements/contents for such convenient services like this.
Artificially pulled our time, every possible point in order to buy gems. There is a point where we have a fun change of disgust and suffering. It may not be too late by the time they realize that a few small changes can help comfort the players being.
Honestly? I would have left the game after half a year if I do not buy the gem pits. I feel it so now I have to play with the game that there should not be a wasting. I was glad a lot of change in one year, but it seems developer(s?) work(s) terribly slow.
I'm still waiting for a while, I wonder if anything will change.
