 Topic: Couple of minor changes for efficiency
Posted: 10 May 2010 at 21:28 |
Two things that would be nice if they were altered;
1, At the moment the Raid stratagem is the default selection when sending a military mission. People that are just farming inactive towns use Attack regularly, it gets annoying when you forget to change from Raid to Attack and just send, getting much less than you could have. Would be great if Attack was the default stratagem. :)
2, When you switch between towns at the moment it takes you to the World Map, would be great if switching towns in the drop down box took you to the Town Map instead, since that is what you are wanting to go to when you click on another town. :)

Thanks Arya.
I'm interested in people's opinions on 1.
Given that Attack is the default stratagem - and the only one available until further skills are researched - I think this makes sense. Anyone who disagrees, speak now or forever etc
On 2. We've actually decided to change it to take you to the same screen you were on when you switch towns; as I suspect this is what most people want. So, for example, if you're on the "what spells can I cast from this town?" screen in one town, that's what you'll see in the next town. If you're looking at the army in one town, that's what you'll see when you swap over.
If you swap over to a screen that doesn't exist in the other town (for example, if you're in the consulate in Town A, and swap to Town B that doesn't have a consulate) then the screen will default to Town view.
Seems sensible?

on 1, I agree. On 2, you may already have great insight into just how much I agree.

Option 2, testing testing ... anyone?
Definitely liking implementation of Option 1 - thanks Arya for mentioning and thanks Dev's for implementing!
As to Option 2 - ummm, please? This is really annoying having to click back into the town.

It probably has a low priority, since there are more important things to work on. But hopefully they haven't forgotten!
