[Briefing]
Playing The Settlers Online (TSO) for several time now should give us an idea of what Features, we're missing or like to be added.
I would like to start a list containing:
- Missing features; features which should be in TSO.
- New features ; features which will make TSO even better ;-)
- Great features ; features we like in TSO.
[Missing features]
MF-001: During technical maintenance i could not login for 1 day, missing the daily reward.
Proposal: Extend the time-frame of the game, so that the player can still receive her/his daily reward.
Note: I'm logging on 3-times a day to also send my Explorer in search for treasure. Still i missed the daily reward, quite annoying ^^
MF-002: During technical maintenance i could not login for 1 day, so i could not put my mines on hold, depleting 3 copper mines and 1 stone mine entirely. This means i can never replenish these natural resources with gems.
Proposal: Automatically put all buildings on hold (e.g. mines, fisherman) with just 1 natural resource remaining, players should decide what they want to do with them.
Proposal: Players should be able to block a natural resource from being used up; i'm talking about the natural resource (e.g. mines content, fishes) itself, not the buildings to extract them. For example: Typically there is only one fisherman to extract fishes from 3 natural resources, a player should be able to block 1 or 2 resources from being used up (hint: used 'prohibit'-street-sign).
[New features]
NW-001: Proposal for a new Architect building, which allows players to convert surplus resources to desired resources. Of course not 1:1, but for example 5(surplus):1(desired), or 10:1.
Note: This allows players to proceed with the game (without restart), even if they made a mistake and/or are missing necessary resources.
NW-002: Proposal for a new Architect building, which allows players to plan Geologist and Explorer missions in advance; max 3 days, 24x7.
NW-003: Proposal for a new Architect building, which allows players to train their Geologists, Explorers and Generals; max twice as fast.
Proposal for Black market upgrade of Geologist, Explorer and General to max three times as fast.
NW-004: Proposal for another Game-mode, which allows players to choose between the current (slow) epic game-mode, and a new faster game-mode. This will provide a larger support from the gaming-community.
[Great features]
GR-001: The Chat-box is already a great way to communicate with other players.
GR-002: The Architect building 'Branch Office Deed' is a nice addition to interact with other players (resource trading).
