1) I can agree with.
2) This just isn't a sit at your computer for hours type of game. While you wait you can chat or visit the forum, but after that I like the fact I can give my orders and then do work in the yard or around the house then come in for a break and see my results.
3)Disagree
It appears that I posted this in the wrong thread, so here goes.
My three things that could help in game.
1. Place an indicator on each resource in the Mayor's House, Store House, that shows your production status. A blue arrow up, means that you are trending up in production. A black arrow that makes a circle, means that your production is static or even. A red arrow pointing down, means that you are trending down in production. Please include the indicator with the count, Ie, when you mouse over a resource you see, X/XXX. I would request that a person does not have to mouse over a resource to see the information, one should just have to open the tab and see at a glance all of the resources info for that tab.
2. Allow for more than just four ranks in the Guild window. Four ranks is a great start, however, it would be nice to have a way to buy more rank slots as you grow your guild. Much in the same way as one would buy new member slots.
3. Mail box improvments, allow one to make tabs in your mail box. This would allow a person to organize and store mailings that one could use as reference material. I would also request a "sent" tab. This allows a person to keep a copy of mailings they send out. This would be most helpful for Guild Members / Officers, as in being able to show accurately what was said. As it is now, once you send it, only the recipient has a copy of what was said.
Thanks for your time and a wonderful game. I find myself spending more and more time in game, and less time in other games. For being in Beta you have a very nice game that IMHO is ready for release. 8)
1. Add in a slider on the trade window to allow multiple trades. It is very time consuming to send 20 of the same trade. At higher levels trading 400 at a time can take forever!
2. Allow friends to be able to send geo/explorer on each others maps. Also I think there should be a permission to be allowed, that lets say 1-2 friends can rebuild common resources like mines, farms, and water.
3. Create a trade chat channel. A place where people can talk about trading buffs, new posts in trade, and negotiate larger trades in. People are currently having to spam both general and help channels to find people to trade things with.
1. Resource/Economic Tab to show what's the status of the players economy, such as showing in a graph of which resources are high in production and which are being consumed to much.
2. Revised Resource System don't know if it's only me, but finding it impratical to switch from begginer resources ( firwood,stone,copper) to more advance resources (harwood,marbel,iron), either because products can't be produced in mass as i need them to, or the cost is to high for me to keep up.
3. New Combat System somthing to make the fights more fun and to give players a break from the economic system of the game so that when there waiting for an hour for a building to be built they can go out and DO something. would like to see more action and less thinking in this part of the game for the players.
1. Option to allow players to rearrange buildings, instead of just destroying then rebuilding them!
2. More guild ranks.
3. Guild mail system! To enable guild leaders and officers to send mail en mass.
1. The ability to see how much time is left on buffs.
2. The ability to move buildings.
3. The ability to see how many of each building I have.
A Vacation Mode. Freeze the game for a specified period, if longer period is needed have it for sale in the market.
1) give licenses per adventure finished... (like 1 per adventure or so...)
2) increase the rate of explorer finding adventures but will decrease the rate of adventure finding when they have more and more explorers... (like u have 50% in finding adventure with 1 explorer but only 45% each for people who have 2 explorers etc.) I'm sick of people who spend money on this game get more scouts and find more adventure then selling for coins.
3) Better transportation system (we can use horse for transporting goods. and ship to transport armies to adventure area. and good use of roads)
1) I would like there to be time stats on a mine that says how much time is left (at its current building level) until it collapses
2) I would like a time stat on building info windows that say how much time is left on its current buff.
3) I would like to be able to trade up to 1,000 resource at a time, instead of 400
1 = More heads up display data. Mouse-over or little status bar resource counts, color coded % of resource left, buttons to toggle map layers ie resources available, bad guys, possible paths to find choke points for defensive positions against marauding barbarians!, etc
2 = Random map generation.
3 = esoteric buildings! A zoo that gives the ability to make elephant units/tigers (like dogs but way better)/monkey poo throwers/birds of prey as scouts/etc. Have to level up to be able to build specialty units. Harbor will allow sea travel and harvesting of marine resources, upgrade for different ships like a huge barge for farming. Engineer Shop can increase your build queue length and/orwill be a place for mechanical inventions like war machines, zepplins, upgrade for a boost to other production and/or reduced cost for machines/better machines. Fort will be like a garrison, but won't require the purchase of a general. Greenhouse will be a specialty crop grower. Community Center will increase worker productivity generally or something, taking the place of theaters/churches/universities. NASA for space travel, could break it down into tons of different buildings whole new production branch. Pyrotechnic for fireworks and rocket military. Museum. Observatory. Sewage treatment.
I hope you like them!
that may be so, but I bet the creators of the game like it when people spend money :P Although if this really discourages people from playing their game then perhaps they should reconsider balancing the money option ;)Quote:

I see Many Great idea's Here.
But these are the things i really want most.
1 - Mini-Games. This Game has MASSIVE amounts of IDLE time, and lets face it, if you want people to stay, they need something FUN to do while they wait endless hours for production to be done. The mini-games should have a small reward, like 50-100 fish for a fishing game, 50-100 meat for a hunting game, and maybe 50-100 Gold for a gambling (poker) Game with bandits; or a Mining game where you find ore (also 50-100) Each one should have a respectable level requirement.
2 - Cosmetics. All those cool things like the nice statues, Pavilions, Angels gates etc. SHOULD BE BUILDABLE AT ANY TIME using MARBLE/STONE/WOOD/Hardwood etc. THIS GAME HAS WAY TO MUCH ENDLESS SPAM. IT LOOKS TERRIBLE Asthetically speaking.
3 - Research I really like this idea. the idea of having a building that increases production rates of various fields in the game really would make it amazing. it would allow people to REALLY focus in being the best producer of what they really love to make. that would in return increase trade atleast 2-3 fold.
if i had a 4th option : NEW BUILDING STYLES One amazing thing that can be done with this game is the ability to give the players the ability to pick from 2-3 building styles. Like Roman for one, Egyptian for another etc. It will take a lot of work but it would make things amazing ;O
Only have 1 suggestion seeing how everyone pretty covered everything else.
Suggestion: allow players to be able to become Bandits instead of the regular set up.
when creating a character.

All the resources should display all the time. Perhaps something that you can make visible/invisible with one click.
or have an option to customize what you want to see at the top barQuote:

Hullo! Great game!
Just a couple suggestions, only been playing a few days but a couple things come to mind:
-when a resource is used for more than one product (eg. wheat being used for bread and beer) it would be great to prioritize which one it is used for first, and be able change that priority as needs change.
-a list of all the buildings you've built and the number. (Rather than scouring the map and counting icons that look very similar)
-being able to see how close you are to gaining a level. (ei. what is needed/what you are working toward)
Thanks again!
Lets get off the dream list of what we want and prey for the basics:
Able to send all troops to adventure so you can allocate troops to the generals as needed not wait 1hr to change troops or refill (and sometimes buggs and takes more then 30 minutes one way).
Trade we all know this one and yet it has been this way for at least 7 months, pretty sad
A running timer for builds or even just tell me how long it will take (the only one I see is the time given for upgrades).
The rest of the ideas are all great, but sadly at the pace we are seeing it would be about two years ...
Hover over the green semi-circle under your avatar pic, and you'll see the experience required to achieve next level. Hover over any greyed-out building in the building tabs & it'll tell you what level is req'd to build it.Quote:
-being able to see how close you are to gaining a level. (ei. what is needed/what you are working toward)
1) 24/7 moderation in chat
2) A way to have buildings stop producing when they aren't buffed, and resume when they become buffed again
3) Adventures being less one-time "solvable"
1.) PvP
2.) A way to search somebody's username in guild list, to see if they are in a guild and such.
3.) Moderators for chat
This means VERY important
1) PvP
2) being able to assign a geo to automaticaly refill a deposit
3) make alliance chat for allied guilds
1.Mercenaries. People you can buy for your military (they are already trained so no wait time maybe as much strengths as recruits at first but then become stronger and bigger the more money you give to train them or even to get better mercenaries.
2. Expansion that allows Sea travel to other islands (of course you will have to raise the cap)
3.Pirates
Alliance Building (Gives money to BB) Make it say, 1050gems or double ish the guild hall.
Alliance's Give the following benefits
1. Alliance's have a cap of say 10-15 guilds in their alliance
2. Alliances can have relationships with other alliances (such as friends, enemes, Neutral, War etc)
3. Alliance's Have a Bank
4. Alliances Have a Chat
5. Alliances have a rank structure (like guilds) Of leader, Officer etc.
6. Alliances have different in game mechanics. For example, On alliance can be ruled by major vote, another by dictator ship. Thus enabling the alliance to have and support their mentality.
Moderation for chat 24/7 is not the way to do things. Blizzard learned this the hard way. You cant control people.
Its better to help them give ways to express themselves. Lets take recruitment for example, Instead of banning, muting etc recruiters
give them a recruitment channel, this way they will have a means to release their energy.
There will always be trolls, stooges etc.
so in short 2nd idea. Recruitment, and trade chats. This way people who dont want global chat, can just leave it.
lastly
guilds need an overhall.
we need
1. more ranks
2. guild bank
3. more logo's with the ability to color change them so they are unique
4. in the guild interface, we should get a message board.
here is some layout idea's

I just want a repeat trade system, send a trade to some one and one click to repeat that trade, to trade 10k resources to someone is just a pain!
1.) Moderate chat
2.) Change trade system to allow for repeats on duplicate trades, OR allow for larger amounts to begin with
3.) Buff Timers of buildngs
1.) resource management window
2.) fix the travel time bug with generals
3.) make chat better with more moderators in global chat, the ability to click a name to ignore it rather than typed commands, specific channels for trade discussions or selling adventures which is then moderated as well to keep it that way.
1. New and improved trade system / auction house with the ability to safely trade the gem items to prevent scams as this game is mainly about a economy and right now it's suffering because of a lack of this.
2. Ability to move buildings that do not cost tons of resources or gems as right now selling a building only gives back some of the base resources and does not figure in the cost of what upgrades you do so if you do make this cost resources then it should be based on the same thing and again building games like this generally have this feature right away and even more so because of the distance and travel time many people didn't know how it works at the start.
3. A battle system that takes some skill and not just tossing the right types of troops and letting the computer control it as it is simply boring and is a weak feature for a game to have but changing the battles currently like that could cause issues so maybe some new battle areas to do this with.
Still waiting on what the first two are going to be like as those are being worked on and sound to be out the earliest.
here are few of my suggestions
1. TRADE SYSTEM COMPLETE OVERHAUL
you need to be able to post 20k ressources, and people to come and serve themselves for as much as they need
example: player 1 buys 5k of the 20k .. player 2 buys 250, player 3 buys the rest.
2. immediate chat moderation
otherwise the game will be rated PG99+
(have u seen the racism, sexism and all other -ism in the chat ?)
3. you NEED to make the guilds be able to interact.
you should create a HARD adventure that can allow as many guild members in as they wish.
4. you definitely need more buildings dropped from adventures.
5. you need a BUFF-STONE (bought AND giftable with gems)
where the player assigns 25-50 buildings and when someone wants to buff them, the buffs are just randomly "thrown at" one of the 25 buildings.
the buff stone could also "warehouse" 25 buffs.
6. you need to take care of the tree stumps.
many have requested it.
7. you need to rebalance the battle system.
8. you need a HOSPITAL.
if the general won the battle, 80% of the lost troops, should go to hospital.
also, enemy troops should be allowed to join you.
in essecne you need
A. a more team oriented game play
B. a moderated and bug-free play
C. EASIER battle.
Trade window reworked-----i would prefer to see a simple system where you post an amount of resource to be traded which is subtracted from your warehouse and stored in the "market" for 24hrs, you would post what resource you want in return and what the ratio is (i.e. i want to trade 10x for 4y, or i want to trade 3x for 2y). I would like to be able to post 3-5 of these trades at a time, and if i sell all of a posted trade resource off, i get that trade "offer" space back to use for another trade
PVP----this game right now is good but nothing to keep me playing if i were to go looking for a different browser to play, i'm sticking around hoping to see the reworks of the major issues that are said to be upcoming, and pvp would probably keep me hooked for at least another 6-12months if done right (might also send me away if done wrong so don't rush a poor product out), lots of suggestions out there on PVP so dev's can decide how they want that to look
Game Mechanics reworked-----leveling, upgrading, and battle system are all very stifling, look at World of Warcraft and how many people love to keep playing at the "top" level, right now it would take close to 400hrs of play to get to the top level with all buildings upgraded and that's pretty ridiculous for a game that i only have 20min worth of game interaction a day with
I have only been playing for a short time so have only seen the first parts of most things
1. Add a Income per hour feature that shows overall how much of a item will change in a hour, with a column for base amounts and then current to show where your buffs are and their bonus
2. Ability to build over stumps ( could take time to remove stumps to be able to build) and to be able to assign the tree planter new areas to plant trees( maybe natural growth trees take less time to replant than spot placed trees to replant or such. Maybe needing a certain amount of time before they become "natural" growth forests.)
3. Make it much clearer to new players that to gather goods your worker will travel from the Mayors house or storehouse, to their workshop, and then to the deposit. That way new players will have a better understanding of what good building placement is.
I know you only wanted 3 but here are some more
4. A buff timer to show how much longer a certain buff will last
5. Ability to cancel the creation of Provision House items, would assume either stops making at what it has, or looses a amount of the goods that are finished
6. Shouldn't trees and fish populations slowly regenerate if they aren't being harvested?
7. Allow multiple windows to be open and moved around so people can monitor multiple things at the same time, or allow the top bar to be expanded to include more items of interest to the player as at certain times certain resources are more important than others.
8.More change to the different resource buildings instead of just the sign on the front of it. I know it is a big hassle for such a small thing, but it is nice to see something different when you build a new building, and if you have a bronze smelter beside a iron smelter they can be easy to not see the sign if you aren't zoomed in enough.
9. Show the resources at further zooms, and change the way they are shown as resources close together can block the amount of others and make it difficult to decide whether or not to place a harvesting station nearby.
10. Better building placement view. When you move your generals camp the map turns green to where you can place it, but when you go to place a normal building you have to hover around until you find a spot that fits it all. It would be nice if it showed all available places or showed exactly what part(s) of the building could not be placed. This would help a lot for getting buildings placed nicely without having one building slightly out of place throwing all your buildings out of place.
1.] Increase the Build Queue - 3 queues when you are rebuilding wheat fields, water wells gets boring
2.] Grouping of Scouts, Geologists - instead of clicking on 10 scouts/geologists at one at a time, simply provide "send all available geologists to look for marble" option
3.] Research/Academy Building - ie. research additional building queues,
1. Stabilize the game
2. Stabilize the game
3. Stabilize the game
Nothing else you're working on matters. Don't care about new functionality, don't care about getting anything back that was lost today, don't care about getting any rewards for this latest event. None of that matters because if you continue to allow the game to be unplayable for vast periods of time like this, no one will be here to see your new features, use the stuff you gave back, or appreciate the rewards for the issues.
STABILIZE THE GAME.
#1

1, Stable Game Play
2. Dont Crash Servers
3. Give me 50,000 gems
how bout make the game right correctly for 24 hours
Seriously. I have lost buffs three times today. I refuse to send another ticket. I have searched for the same 3 copper deposits and build thoe same mines 3 times. I'm turning the whole thing off for the night. I don't want to do anything gem related on the off chance I lose those too. Just disgraceful, in my opinion.
I agree having the ability to move a shop would be great rather then deleting and recreating.
