    formatted numbers 1123456789 -> 1,123,456,789

    If the numbers formatted it is more readable, but there is many part of the game where the numbers don't formatted.

    Examples:

    Wheatfields. Packed wheatfield 3073 -> 3,073
    3476531 meat (deposit near a hunter building) -> 3,476,531
    359760 fish (deposit near a fisherman building) -> 359,760
    Industrial iron mine 217466 iron ore -> 217,466

    Star menu
    87500 settlers -> 87.5K
    1111111 wheats -> 1.1M
    like in storehouses.

    tooltips:
    in storage: Pinewood: 68800/1531000 -> 688,000/1,531,300
    in star menu: Add resource: 87500 settlers -> 87,500

    Economy overview left column. Resources Platinum ore 1371904 -> 1,371,904

    Population window 3211 bowman -> 3,211
    or in adventures too.

    Information toolbar on top (tools, pinewood planks, hardwood planks, stones, marbles gems) That would be K and M. 501669 tools -> 501K. Need fewer space, there would be more resouce info, or shorter info toolbar.

    quick question. You know that this formating for numbers does not work in every country?

    it works for trade items already though, so why not this suggestion?

    This does have some merit - certain countries have different ways of formatting numbers. You can see just some of the most common methods in this Wikipedia article.

    ...and yet the fact remains, the format IS ALREADY USED on trade, so why not the OP's suggestion regardless of countries? ...
