    They do say that truth hurts the most, but the lazy are getting lazier.
    If at first you don't succeed, sky-diving is not for you.

    granted it will make it easier for new players, but ythey can find the resource location maps on forum. So for me thats not a valid argument.
    THIS map might be small... but what in case of another maps in full version? We are talking about general solutions, general game concept, not a particular map's problem... Seeing it this way is kind of short sighted.
    Why should I leave the game window and go to a forum to check a map? That is much more comlicated than just check an in-game mail.

    The game itself is already capable of reporting events to in-game mail (e.g. battle report) - so it would be only a little work for developers to add this feature.

    I do not understand why are you so against... But OK, it's you oppinion.

    Crysman,

    I am sorry but what full version are you expecting? the server indeed is beta, but the game has been around in US and German verions for a long time. Dont expect the map to get bigger then it is now. Not for a very long time anyway.

    So yes i prefer more usefull features then devs time wasted on mailspam.
    Nevermind I give up

    Look, I am a programmer. Speaking about "time wasting" is a bit misleading. As I wrote before, the in-game e-mail reporting mechanism is already implemented and working in the game engine. Assign a geologist finding result into the mechanism of reporting should be as easy as to fix a minor bug...

    The same with "hyperlink to location" - it is already implemented and working.

    I do not know how many in-game e-mails are YOU receiving, but I am receiving almost none. Just Explorer's findings and battle results. That is all. Talking about "spam" am I considering misleading as well, sorry (unless you prove receiving a heap of in-game e-mails...)

    cheers

    nah, the island is too small for it to be an issue, however, there should be an option to bitch slap the geologist for failing to find a mine, an ever increasing problem i see happening when i send them out looking for copper and iron mines.

    Your Geologist is only failing to find a fresh source because you already have the maximum allowed of that resource. Don't blame the geologist, blame yourself.
    If at first you don't succeed, sky-diving is not for you.

    i've come to realise there is always, 1 iron mine, 1 stone deposit & 1 marble deposit that cannot be mined while all the others are actively being mined, out of 17 iron mines i have only ever been able to mine 16 at once, and i do mine them all at once, except for that one mine.

    yet over the last two weeks i have noticed that my geo's are consistently failing to find deposits.

    if i then send out a geo to find a mine that i know is available,and it fails i can't be blamed, nor can i plan.

    Geologists NEVER fail if there is a resource available to find.
    If at first you don't succeed, sky-diving is not for you.

    this would be a nice feature to new players, but once you have played for a while it would just become annoying.

    Maybe they need a "notification by mail" option menu somewhere so you toggle which things you want to be alerted about, eg:

    geo finds something
    combat happened (you won)
    combat happened (you lost)
    combat happened (intercepted)
    someone buffed X
    scout found treasure/adventure X
