Some things to improve the game:
Star menu rework:
Make resources, adventures, items and buffs stack.
I'm scrolling through walls of the same kind resource/buff/item/adventures every time I want something. The star menu would be a lot more neat! Adding resources from star menu to mayor house is completely ridiculous, I recall spending 20 minutes to add all my map fragments to the mayor house. With only one 'tile' per object and an input box this whole issue would be solved.
Send generals to adventures:
I've heard there comes a textbox next to the label instead of the scroller, amazing! The general menu also gets an overhaul, maybe add in presets for adventures? E.g. save 'send troops' as a preset so you can quickly send the same troops (+ generals) next time.
Bugs:
Fix chat box scroller not working right when scrolling with the mouse. It stays at the same position or starts acting weird. Also there are STILL 'Whisper' bugs, although less common, they still exist.
Explorers & Geologists:
Sending 16 explorers away on search is very tedious, accepting the mails as well. Maybe add in a batch system to send explorers away with a log of found resources / adventures, a bit like the Trade Office History tab.
Finding a 'fast' copper ore deposit is also VERY tedious. I know there is a €20 solution for this but I think SOME tweaking could be done. What I have to do now to get all deposits to be fast is search with geologists, hope on the 45% chance to find a fast deposit. If not fast -> build/destroy/repeat. This is really annoying and a painstakingly time consuming process, even with fast geologists.
Trade office:
Please link the refresh() (button/function) with the 'Search' button so there is an automatic refresh on every search. It's kinda lame to see 'There are no offers that contain your search term...' just because you have to 'refresh' prior to searching.
There is also this filter when setting up trades and searching to trade e.g. 'copper' that SAVES your search. When selecting 'Choose price' from marketplace / friends the same filter pops up. I rarely seek to exchange similar named products. A simple solution would be to clear the search term after confirming the selected product.
Mails:
I get SPAMMED with mails from adventures (battle logs) and explorers. Accepting / deleting 20+ 'unnecessary' mails takes a lot of time!
Maybe add filters, or just don't handle things like this through mail but through a logbook (which would be really neat and clear!). Also batch selecting a certain type of mail and accepting / deleting it would be a huge improvement.
Overall:
- Save the size/position of the 'building queue'-bar. I have to drag this down every login to see my extra slot.
- Gems / items are REALLY REALLY imbalanced. I know this has always been so and it's not easy to tweak but for real, prices for gems/ resources are ridiculous, as well for the decorations. Buildings etc. are also overpriced IMHO but since I see a lot of people willing to pay for this I'll shut up about this one. Oh yeah, I was wondering: How many people paid 18K gems to get barracks instant level 4? Or 2k for any building to get to level 4 / 5? I don't think this is balanced either. Paying that much is either for the stupid, rich or both.
In general I actually don't mind the gem prices that much, just bringing awareness to this topic. All these other things are of far greater importance.
That's it, a few things from the top of my head. I might add a little more later on.
Cheers!
