    While I have no knowledge of how Flash works and its limits, I do agree that the game should be rewritten onto a proper engine. But that's a whole different story

    +1 on everything! The battle control idea/image in particular is awesome!

    A few additional zeros for the "smart rebuilding"
    The reason people say +1 is because they count as "+1 to the idea"

    Sadly as you are only a single user you can only add +1 to this, only way to add more than +1 is to mutli account, but as that is banned on same server, it's very unlikely.

    So less of the spam please

    Thanks,
    peck_ed
    I'm more than likely working right now.

    Dear peck_ed,

    It's clear that you have no clue what you are talking about, so I would like to provide you with the definition of spam hereby:
    "Spam is the use of electronic messaging systems to send unsolicited bulk messages, especially advertising, indiscriminately. It is unsolicited for by the recipient."

    I'll highligh some parts of it:
    BULK: was my feedback in bulk? No, definitely not. It contained quite some zeros, but it was one comment.
    ADVERTISING: unless you are seeing a hidden message in all the zeros perhaps, but otherwise not applicable either
    INDISCRIMINATELY: there's nothing indiscriminately about it, I reacted on this thread and in particular on a comment of someone else.
    UNSOLICITED: last time I logged on - no too long ago - I got the message "this game is still in beta, we would appreciate your feedback".


    But, let's consider you a forum moderator for a second. It means that you should be aware what spam is.
    That brings me to another reaction on your [removed] remark. Last time I checked, I was a (potential) customer. Could you explain to me why you consider feedback from your customers spam? I could imagine that you don't like the feedback, that you consider it too much feedback, that you would have given the feedback yourself in a different way, etc.
    But spam? No, that's a mentality problem on your side; where's the 'customer is king' attitude?

    Still, such an attitude can happen on a bad day. Telling it to your customer however is absolutely not done. Do you know that you are getting fired for it at my company? And I can tell you that my company didn't become world market leader in the banking and insurance market by having of a wrong customer approach.

    May I therefore suggest that you tone it down a bit this time?

    Hello MrBranch,

    Please do not offend people.

    Smart rebuilding
    Wheatfields and wells are now able to be rebuilt without going into the building menu and selecting the correct building and then placing it in the correct place.
    Instead, just hover the mouse over an exhausted wheatfield or well and a little button pops up. Click on it and the game adds a new construction to the constructing queue. If your queue is full or you don't have the materials to rebuild it, the button is greyed out and unclickable.
    This saves two clicks; opening the build menu and clicking on the wheatfield or well. Also, it seems to assume that you are replacing the wheatfield or well with an identical one. Would this feature allow you to choose the type of wheatfield or well you want to construct this time, or would it only be useful if you want to replace like with like?

    In addition, if you hover your mouse over a depleted mine, you can select the small Geologist button. Click it and a dialog box pops up where you are able to select which Geologist you wish to send to rediscover a new deposit. This feature works great with the upcoming Science System.
    Whilst this sounds quite fun, I can actually click on the star menu when I find a depleted mine, and send the Geologist out. This saves 1 click I think.

    I feel that these features would add complexity to the hovering mouse mode, without actually adding much of great use to the game. You are saving a few seconds if that.

    In addition to that, selecting a buff from your Star Menu and applying it to your headquarters will bring up a dialog box asking you if you want to spend # number of buffs (provided you have that many) on your Favorite buildings.
    Will this feature also allow you to choose the number of buffs that you are spending on either your or your friends' buildings? For instance, if your friend doesn't have 19 buffs available, will they be able to choose 15 instead, or will they just be prevented from buffing you? Also, will it automatically grey out buildings where you have reached maximum storage capacity and a buff would be wasted?

    Oh, and a general comment regarding all these features; would they be free or would they be premium features? It is going to take some programming to change all these elements of the game.....

    While I do not know in what part of the game you are (which level), but on higher levels where you have a lot of wheatfields, wells and mines to replace every day, thus all these saved clicks really adds up. Also, wells and wheatfields are usually Medium Wheatfields and Deep Wells and you don't really want to place something else. But hey, maybe that's just me

    Regarding the buff issue, if you don't have sufficient buffs available you won't be able to buff all buildings at the same time since if you did, would the buildings left out be selected at random? But hey, any improvements to the improvements are welcome

    When I made this post in the first place there were no such thing as a premium account and it's not really my place to decide about it being premium or not. But hey, I would root for it to be available to all players.

    lets hope they are picked up on by blue byte and you would deserve some sort of reward for thinking them up
