As a side note to my post on upgraded buildings provideing faster production times I would like to add this:
Buildings level 1 & 2 use 1 settler to run
Buildings level 3 & 4 use 2 settlers to run
Buildings level 5 use 3 settlers to run
Cause faster work just makes sense with more workers in it.
1) An ignore user feature in the popup menu when clicking the link on someone's name in chat. Currently, we can visit, mail, trade, gift, etc. all very nice -- however ignore would be lovely. Frequently, I find myself showing people how to /ignoreadd. One click, please.
2) An afk feature would be shiny. Certainly, we can choose not to answer whispers, but that can be seen as rude and or perplexing when friends can see us online but perhaps we are too busy counting our ponies to want to stop and chat at that moment. Alternatively, invisible mode in the game would be nice.
3) Upgraded graphics for the L4 and up upgrades. Psychologically, having more bling for the bucks goes a long way toward game satisfaction.
4) A sent mail box.
5) A little more ethnic diversity in the avatars. Not everyone wants to wear a mask/hood if they can't find an avatar that speaks to them.
6) A pony. For me.
Thank you for working to make this game even better.

Someone may have suggested this already, but it would be great if we had some way to mark a building. Then sharing buffs would be so much simpler. No more trying to describe where and which building among the masses you want your friend to buff. I'm infamous for calling a building by the wrong name and getting the wrong one buffed. DRAT! Thanks. Love the game!
The garrison information box is beautifully done. I love the graphics in it, the clarity, and the ease with which one can assign troops and choose functions. Not a lot of room for design or functional improvement. It would be great if it could be mobile on the screen, i.e. draggable. Often when battling, when using a retreat maneuver as part of the strategy, the garrison information box needs to remain open to allow access to the retreat function.
The box takes up the bulk of the center screen, thus making it imperative to drag the entire island out of its way, rather than vice versa. This also can put the section of interest way off in odd parts of the screen making it difficult to identify and see the general and his various wanderings. It would be nice to have better access to my general as he moves and fights.
Not a critical fix -- but one that would enhance the enjoyment of the game.
A thought If bread alone will get you 25 settlers how about an option of adding in some water and meat fish or sasuages to get you like 100?
I know it has been stated before but.....buff timers. This is the most needed feature of the game imo.
The ability to move the projects up and down in the building que is very helpfull. Now we need to que up more than 3. 6+ would help a lot.
The provisions que should have the same ability to move up and down instead of having to delete to make an insert and then redo all the buffs we had scheduled.
Thank you for a fine game.
- Top down view of production chains! just like in settlers 7, I wanna know from the raw materials to the finished product, which work yards use it, and how many of them I have.
- I have seen some discrepancies when it comes to text. Like for foods, it says "Output x2" and "Output is doubled". Someone should go over the texts and make sure everything is using the same style.
- What does "fir" mean anyway? I don't think the game should be using vague names (I am guessing they're diminutives of something), they look plain bad! (examples: fir wood forested).
Email Notification - Please please please..this would be a great fix before we get actual real summaries and reporting functions. Can the devs do a quick fix that would initiate an email to be sent to the player when a deposit (iron, gold, copper, well, etc) is empty. With a time-stamp in the email?
Even better: an off / on toggle for this. Some players may find this annoying, some players might value it greatly.
- Form farms and other like gather able resources, it would be great to know what's the rate of grow (or respawn) so we can do the math of how many farms per field, or how many fishers per fish school, etc. Work yards already give us their info, why not the fields?
Farms, Schools of Fish, Quarries, and Mines do not automatically replenish themselves, you must build more of them when they run out. So there is no rate of grow, or respawn. How many Gatherers you want per Resource is based on how often you want to rebuild or replenish them.Quote:

I would like to see a roll over bubble on buildings that shows more than just the level requirement of the building and it's resource cost. A brief description of a building would be great, since we cannot move our buildings in game once they are built. We can look at descriptions from the rollover bubble and get a general idea of where we will be placing buildings in the future based on their descriptions. Still keep the level and resource requirements, just add the description of the building that tells us what it does. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
A single screen showing all the buildings I have built. Additional info might include production times and coordinate location of each structure. I haven't seen coordinates on the map but I'm new to the game.
A church that has a special ability.
You build the church, hire the priest, and after that he could heal a general or speed up the recovery time. After healing there is a reset limit where the priest rests. After that you pay so much resources to keep healing.
I would love to see what my total production of a resource is per hour. It would allow me to see if I have any negative productions in any resources so that I can adjust buildings accordingly. it is too much trouble adding up the productions for every building to get my hourly production for one resource and this feature would be awesome!
Boy do I agree with this. There is nothing fun about logging on and having to spend a great amount of time checking all your mines to see what is gone/still there. Emails we get when explorer returns. Also, how about email when geologist returns. Another timesaver for the players.Quote:

It's really irritating to have all the soldiers except for the cavalry attack the strongest player first. There should be some contol over attack priorities, or at least some logic built in to the system, instead of accepting a stupid general.
I think this is a good one. I have accidentally upgraded a building, luckily only costing me marble, HW, and my anger. My brother upgraded his coking plant to lvl 4, costing him 500 gold. He was not happy, and now every time he see that lvl 4 coking plant, it reminds him of his mistake (of course he can't tear it down b/c he has to much invested in it).Quote:

yes, i'm actually more used to seeing production rates per hour, probably you can add into the mayor's house, when you hover over an iconQuote:

This would allow you to know at a glance not only what's buffed but also give you a general idea of how long it might last even when viewing in far zoom mode.
After playing the game for a few days, I am happy to say I like it. However, there is one thing I think should be added.
The first (and only, for now) is that I think a good addition would be something telling you the total production and consumption of resources. So, for example, if you have 3 fir wood cutters, 1 fir wood sawmill, and 1 coking plant, you should be able to see that you're gross production is 3, and the consumption for the sawmill and coking plant, is 3, so your total logs being produced would be 0. If you had another coking plant, it would tell you that you're running a deficit of 2 logs, so you would end up running out. Yes, the player can do this him or herself, but I think it takes too long, and once you get into owning many different areas, it may become too overwhelming.
The need to sit and watch every move in this game isn't needed. But there are times when you miss a message and a "News Tab" would be a great feature.Quote:

3.) A "one click" iggy button for trolls etc.
4.) an Overlaying hex/square map grid to help see what areas are buildable and not obstructed to facilitate planning
5.) A battle veiwer, as it happens, to help you decide if you want to retreat before it is too late, instead of an "after the fact recap in my mail"
I traded for 3000 bronze swords that were offered to me at a really good price. I paid and received my wares. I happily clicked "accept". And then I was a bit surprized when I couldn't build as many soldiers as the purchase should have enabled me to build.
And I realized that I had a storage capacity of only 800 at that point. So all the surplus (2200 Bronze swords!!!!!) was lost.
I opened a ticket but sadly the support team told me they could not re-imburse me for the lost wares.
Here's my suggestion:
Could in future the surplus be put in the star menu? So that it can be used once there is storage capacity again?
Thank you,
Tiana
(reposted this, I had it in the wrong thread originally)
Would be nice to have additional options available in the provision house to convert marble/hardwood planks to granite/exotic planks.
How about adding a night time to the game
After just reaching lvl 18 I have a few suggestions:
1. There is no point in friends besides buffng. Allow us to send explorers/geologists on jobs to friends, and give friends the ability to demolish exhuasted common resources and rebuild them Like Wheat, water, and mines.
2. Add what the upgrade actually does to the tooltip not just increase capacity or production. For example say increases population by 10, increases storage by 400, or increase production by 1.
3. Allow me the ability to demolish trees if I want to. I should be allowed to build a facility anywhere besides a mountain. IF I want to build a farm where trees are it should destroy those trees and let me build there. People will need to think if they really want to forever loose those trees in that location.
The need to speed up production rate by workers is important. Maybe have a drop tab to shift workers from maybe sawmill to tree cutting or to mason and such.
1. Combat system stinks. There is no way to guide the attackers, and the current attack priority produces very weak generals.
2. There is no way to speed up settler production.
would be nice if in news, when it says geologist has found deposit, if you could click on that and it would show where the deposit is,
There are 72 pages of suggestions and I don't have time to read them all, so I apologize up front if I am suggesting something that was already.
There needs to be an overview of all buildings one has built in his land. I am nearly complete with my first map and I have buildings all over the place. I think it would be much easier to check my ratios if I could just look at one window and see what I have of each building.
Goes in line with my Geologist. I send him out to find a particular item and he comes back failed because I have reached max capacity of that type. With all mines, buildings, etc listed I could clearly see what I need to search for and not waste valuable time looking for something I do not need.
Thanks,
Lashrac
can i suggest to increase the original amount of deposits of each mineral, for example the marble deposit which contains somewhere around 300, after how quickly it is exhausted then i have to use geologist again to find more deposits
I have some suggestions for global chat. I would like to see a couple more chat tabs added. It would be great if when you go to global 2, 3, etc you would still be able to see global 1. While it is great to be able to join a different global chat, not being able to see the main tab means you cannot help out brand new players, or see when the GM's are on.
An alliance tab would also be great, where several guilds could share a channel. Or the ability to create private channels by entering any 8 letter combo, so you can invite people to join your private channel! channel settings should also be saved when you log off.
I was thinking about how the trees work in the game and it occurred to me that if tree nodes were made to be like the crop and water nodes (removable when depleted), one would be able to clear cut and make room for more efficient building plans. To offset the resource being consumed I propose that the forester building be expanded to say 2x2 and act like one of those Christmas tree farms or if the Devs prefer it could act like the wells and crop fields. I'm sure this would involve a great deal of programming but I think it would be a wonderful alteration.
Also I had an idea for a work-yard buff that would affect all yards in an empire for a limited time (maybe 2 days) and can only be made (or maybe bought and used) once every 30 days. Call it a festival.
Thanks for reading my ramblings.
Here are some suggestiongs I have (I appologize upfront if I have stated a suggestion already listed or a feature already in the game):
* More tabs: I think adding more chat tabs would be a cool thing. Some tabs I would suggest are: Global Chat(1,2, and 3), Trade chat, Guild chat (if not already added I am not in a guild), GM chat (a place where players could seek the help and wisdom of the GMs), and the ability to make private chats with password locks.
* PvP: Not sure if this is something already going to be added or not but a way to either attack the city of another player, or go into a battlefield against another player or even multiple players would make the game more fun, and would have a bigger meaning of creating a larger city and army other than it looking cool.
* Leaderboards: Some way of seeing who has the best city, most recources, most gems, best production rates ect. would make the game have more of a competitive feel and would attract more competitive players.
* Higher starter base building licenses: When first starting I think it would be better to have more building limit, so you can have a higher production rate of needed recources from the get-go. Although it would make the game a bit easier, I think it would make the game better.
* Character naming: The ability to name a Geologist or General or other main characters you can get would be a pretty nice feature.
* Island options: First off, I think that we should be able to keep our island hidden from other players, friends or not. To go along with that I think we could also be able to check out non friends islands if there islands are set to visible. If PvP is added I also think scouts and scouting would be some cool features.
* Chat options: Having a chat options menu would be nice. Some things in that would be to change the colors of different texts and such, or setting the chat filter off for those who can handle it.
* Character leveling: I think your main characters like Generals and Explorers should be able to level up just like you and with higher levels come higher stats and more abilities.
* Battle animation: Possibily change the whole thing a bit, but more specifically I think that you should be able to see it as it happens, instead of recieving mail afterwards.
* Recalling: The ability to recall armies headed to camps, Explorers treasure hunting, or Geologists looking for new deposits ect. would make the game better and more realistic.
* Experience bar: Being able to see how far into a level, and how far you need to go makes the game more interesting.
Thanks for reading my suggestions, I hope to see some of these in the game eventually.

I wish there was a tab to show the # of each building I have. I can't easiealy tell foresters from choppers etc lol.
It would be nice (and helpful for managing resources) if we could see a summary of all our resources and if we are gaining or losing them.
It could be done in a building summary, where you just show a +/- units per hour... (and could show steady-state and buff adjusted, or could show only one number but change the color of anything buff adjusted._
Also when you go to build or buff, the icon could show you what the results in units/hour would be, so you know if you build a sawmill, you are going from +5 to +10 per hour (or if you are upgrading a building, same thing...)
Thanks!
So if you are loosing
Not sure if this has been said yet. But i got a few ideas.
Trivia Event The Trivia event that we had was awesome. But why not have trivia once a month for 2 weeks in the middle of the month so that more people can win and receive more gems. A lot of people wanted that and though might just say it on here. Also was thinkng if there could be a bouns on the last day and for the first 5 people win in the bouns round they win 50 gems.
Also some of the GM's (No Offence) but they run out of questions to ask us during the trivia event and was thinking if we could send them some mail them some mail for questions and if they ask our question that we gave them. we could get 25 gems as well because they used our question in the trivia event.
Now this i know is pretty far away. But Christmas is coming up fast and was thinking if you could add Christmas lights on the buildings, have the water frozen in ice with snowmen on top of them and also have the island covered in snow well the trees have snow on top of them as well.
Also should have Christmas buffs. Turkey dinner buff. Ham Dinner buff, or whatever. you guys can think of something for that i guess.
