Currently my guess is one of the next items on our common wishlist will be a "super-watermill" that is 1 min production times. A few of those might be sold given water is a huge problem for mass bakeries/friaries.
How about a way to reset our tome and codex cost back down to 1? spending 8 manuscripts to make 1 codex is a pain. that is over 5 days per codex.
Dear Settlers Online,
I have a special request. Please forward to the right department:
I posted a request for a 'Tag' on an experience adventure in TO, me 'Tag' in adventure with no request for gold or anything from the other player. Players had a lot to say in reply to my invitation to 'give' the taker all the experience using Sons of the Veld. Most the replies were comparing my trade offer to the more popular 'loot spot'.
Sons of the Veld, an experience adventure, is not as popular as a 'loot spot' or as valuable when selling due to us not reaching a level higher than 50 and the cost of upgrading, I do believe. The price was checked by another reader and posted. Also, high casualties were brought up.
Also SOTV is not as popular as a 'loot spot' due to the fact that our generals do not 'level up' like in Rome Total War. And, I do wonder where the developers are in including a 'level up' improvements in the game. Moreover, I think it would add suspense to combat if your general died he would stay in the grave till resurrected like in Might and Magic. This would open an 'epic building' idea for the Test Server and make it possible to add a magic hut and spread collectible potion ingredients around the island and gain another 'buff' type, putting other gem items in merchant. But, that is not the main topic I am asking your team to discuss at this point.
What I'm asking, for the short term, for your consideration to add more loot in Sons of the Veld. I have included screenshots of the feedback given to my immature ~ first attempts to invite another player on an adventure ~ and please keep in mind ~ I do not feel 'shamed' by any given response, however critical of my post. I appreciate the time players took to converse on the topic and feel it is valuable information and ask my special request be brought to the developers attention.
Hight casualties.

PS I would like a job in the 'think tank' if you guys use my idea, please
Hi,
I have an issue that I would like to see rectified. I have spent real money to buy gems. With those gems I buy the 5000 gold mine refill. So in my star menu I have that plus other smaller refills (500). When I see a good offer of coins for a 500 refill I jump on it. Well.....instead of taking my 500 refill, it deducts that from my large one instead. Now my issue is I spent real money for that large refill to put an offer in TO for say a silo in return. But when I go to make that offer I no longer have 5000, it has been reduced by how ever many offers of coin I bought.
Sure I still have the same number of refills when added up (as mentioned to me when I put in a ticket on this issue). I would appreciate some effort into fixing this. The large refills should ONLY be touched when I no longer have 500 refills left. I'm sure you will say-buy that refill when you are ready to put the offer in. But what happens if I buy a large refill from TO to use at a future date. I would still have the same issue. I have no way to "protect" that large one from being touched.
- Add gems into economy calculator
-Add the ability to post x4 lots of buildings, adventrues and buffs on TO (like u can resources)
I would like a Shipyard that leads to an island for PVP: Have something like capture the flag (could be a gems, saving a princess, or just flat out killing witches) 1v1, 3v3, 5v5...you already have a shipyard design with IOTP, could make upgradable versions for higher troop caps between players...honestly I just want a shipyard. I mean how can a island not have a shipyard?
Possible money maker and player relief.
Make a gem paid instant travel feature for generals in route to adventures or home. Replicate this with returning armies without generals. We can half time of explorers. Same feature concept except instead of halving the time complete it.
i suggest that once a guild is disbanded the [TAG] be reset or useable again. cause on Zues we have a clown who's main objective is to use up all good ones.

Two suggestions: One is a cancel button for geos and scouts if u accidentally hit the wrong search..some ppl dont have time to wait for the geo to saerch for an hour while out of marble. Second, A favorites tab on friends bar instead of "all"....I have a ton and it would be nice to be able to find the ppl i buff nad/or talk to most
I so agree with this. Too many times, I accidently sent an explorer or geo out on the wrong mission. Maybe some sort of timer for cancelling so that you can cancel within the first 2 minutes is okay but after 2 minutes you can't cancel it anymore. Kind of like generals sent out and retreat.Quote:

Thank you everyone for your suggestions so far, I have seen many fantastic ideas and inspiring ideas that will create a bigger, better, and stronger TSO for everyone to enjoy! Great work everyone and we couldn't do this without your help! :)
But keep them coming! xD
Here are my top 3 selections:
1 - Reduce/Remove all of those Guild Quests adventures. Max of 2 in a week and NOT back-to-back. Of course removing them altogether would be best.
2 - Provide more island space.
3 - BushyBraw's idea: - Add an option when buffing - to buff a selected amount of a building type (ie. instead of clicking 10 bakers select buff select number of bakeries)
Make a shipyard that can be upgraded: (design a mini game world for players to compete with ships), Make ( Admirals and Captains which command a certain number of war ships) the objective will be to transport cargo to certain locations in the mini game world ( thus depending on the lvl of your shipyard will determine how much and what lvl of value cargo ships can transfer). Different routes will be more or less perceptible to attacks from other players...thus the more difficult the route the more valuable the cargo can be. Cargo will be previous goods (hwp, marble, gold, etc... ) a player has earned thus if they are successful in getting it to a trade island they should make like double what they transferred or something of the like. Make it so Captains and Admirals get war experience from battles with other players, also give players something like trophies for each victory in which places players of similar trophy amounts against each other. It might go without saying, but make it so one loses trophies with every loss as well. ( might be a good idea if the more trophies you had the easier it was to gain more loot from raids). The type of ships would vary from: the cargo, to raiders (specialize in looting), battle (damaging), defensive galleons (bruisers), to hired pirates. Having a feature that allows guildies to help would be cool. (perhaps allows for a extra ship or two depending on guild size and if anyone donates one. You could also make it so that players have to defeat certain pirate captains/admirals in order to open up new routes.
Make the battle more the an email pls... something in which defending players can have their fleets in different formations they can customize, while attackers click on where they wish to place their raiders.
Suggestion - short term solution to the "train more than 25 at a time" issue. Change the default on the barracks slide bar to 25 instead of 1. Then we can train 25's with just two clicks instead of click-drag bar to 25-click.
95% of the time (or more, possibly) troops are trained 25 at a time.
This will reduce our annoyance until a Barracks 2 or other solution can be implemented.
barracks 2 changes game play far more then a barracks with 100 does.Quote:

Make proper use of saltpeter (building or w/e )
just like the floating houses there should be floating other stuff u could get.
be able to build bridges over water on your island.
shipyards sound like a cool idea.
for moving buildings around on your island it would be nice to have a drop box to put them in so you can clear more space to put them in. sometimes i need to move buildings 2 times just to get them in the spot i want it and have buling cost that i dont need
It would be nice to have displayed how many of each type of troops are cooking in the barracks. Knowing how long is helpful but how many is important when preparing for an adventure. It's rather difficult to scroll through and add them up because of how the table is set up. :)
A reward for completing the collectible search that gives a collectible that can only be earned through completing the quest. Sure it could be tradable but at least then there is some reward for the effort put into finding the collectibles.
How about any reward for completing the quest. Even 5 gc?Quote:

3- Add a button on buildings that we can click to make them go to sleep when buffs end (Don't want coiners and such running unbuffed)
Make a list of the 20 most requested suggestions so we can vote on them
Could you change the troop slider in the barracks to a max of 100 instead of 25? I'm getting carpel tunnel syndrome from making 25 troops at a time.
I want a 3-tiered barracks. Where the intermediate, advanced, and expert troops (R/B) / (C/M/S/LB) / (E/XB/K) have separate queues. People could get 3x production if they sacrificed expert troops.
I would really like to see upgradable guild house. Guild quest rework for donating guild coins/metal bars/tools/books (or taxes). Could even keep all the crappy quests that are in place, but have the guild coins put into a guild bank (for spending on upgrades) rather than the player storehouse .... upgrades that reduce production cycle times or boost storage or decrease adventure travel time or give loot bonus (like premium) or extend premium time. Benefits for being in a guild -- and competitions / leaderboards for guild value.
Absolutely anything that uses expert resources (Titanium, gunpowder). Gold fever and glue in the rarity house. Hammers and scarecrows and fermentation accelerators into the provision house. Move all collections out of the mayors house (stupid to start with) and into the provision house buffs list.
An upgradable throne room / trophy room in the mayors house -- or further upgrades to the mayor house that give new bonuses (sort of like the home island science tree -- but the devs are going to make that suck -- I want something good).
Right now, we grind for resources, which are basically worthless when you look at the new 'content' being released. We build up so we can be better at grinding for more resources.
Idea please take a look
1. in the provision house and rare ph add counter in top left corner of each order for those who want to know how many orders they have made
2. for new collectible update make it so when you visit a friend and flag a collectible they get a message saying who flagged it because lots of players offer rewards for find collectibles for them and know who to give reward to is important
thank you for having a look at my ideas :) have a nice day.
What about this, A new building, for example the "Deep Sea Fisherman", it would 1:be placed in the water like a floating residence 2:collect fish and add them to storehouses without depleting the fish deposits
Ability to fire specialists. Say I have 3 regular geologists...and I obtain 3 Jolly Geologists. In the tavern, I can let some Geologists go...and if I ever want them back, I rehire them for the same rate as they were originally hired...
just don't use them thenQuote:

Also why can't the goods from our explorers automatically go into the warehouse 1st like trades? Probably wasting my time I'm not sure the dev team reads these posts.
here is pain in the ***.... buffing people...
I normally buff 3-4 people every day and each need 150-200 baskets..And 20-30 people ask me daily around 150-200 baskets each. i myself also need 150 baskets twice a day. it takes almost 10 minutes to buff entire island. Sometimes i am hiding myself, dont answer, dont write anything in trade or global chat.. I dont mind to buff people but if it takes 10 min each 20-30 of them twice a day.. I cant play game, i cant run adventure, i cant chat and enjoy the game. It can be done with very simple improvement on buffing system. I know it can be done because i saw similar things on different games. Here what i am thinking...
Let says i have 20 bakers, 30 mills, 25 farms, 20 watermills, 15 copper smelters, 4 gold chain total 150 building..
if i buff this island i should have new window that show options that i can check mark.. like
All bakers, checked(should be little box that we can check) you can have little option buff lvl 3 or higher or listed all lvls lvl 1, lvl2, lvl 3, lvl 4 and lvl 5 buildings
All farms, checked
All watermills, checked
All mills, checked
All copper smelters, checked
next option chose type of buffs
fish plates
sandwiches
baskets
exo baskets
EOTM
etc..
next option
do not buff if they are sleeping
do not buff if they are upgrading
in this way buffing someone will take only 10 seconds and i can still enjoy my game, spend quality time here..
I KNOW BB DEV YOU CAN DO IT, PLS DO NOT TALK ABOUT THE CODES AGAIN. IF WE ARE PAYING AND BUYING GEMS PLS TRY TO MAKE THOSE THINGS AVAILABLE FOR THE PLAYERS.....
regards,
[SFcTd] maddusa
here is the best 1 of all FIX THE ZONE ERROR BS i have been locked out for 3 days and support has been kia it seems. i know bb is not living off gem sale to gem sale. also hire more support ppl and stop firing them. AND DON'T TELL ME TO CLEAN MY FRICKEN CACHE IT DON'T WORK SO STOP SAYING IT.
give something else instead of xp points to level 50 players in adventures or the quest book, or let us nominate to lower level players
as there are no incentives to complete quests i.e Epic Workyards, which after spending 5000 gems to purchase one,gives me 3500 xp reward
I often spend nights away from home for work. How about a "Google Play" app so that we can link our tablets to our existing account (tablets do not support "flash player" so we can't log on via our browsers). This would give many people much better access to the game (:
A few different things I've noticed could be improved to aid the players.
First, a counter in the barracks that tells you how many of each troop type is currently being trained. Far easier than constantly counting the slots by 25.
Secondly, a slider bar in the general menu and in the barracks menu. If i want to train 1k recruits, I just slide it to 1k, like in the trade tab. Or I could manually type in a number. Same with general. Instead of fighting with the slider to get the right number, I could simply type it into the box and have the right quantity of troops the first time around.
Finally, losing track of where a general is on a map is a nuisance. If he tucks behind trees or hills you're liable not to know where he is. I know this feature isn't crucial to the gameplay, but a nice convenient feature would be to have the walking general glow in blue or something. Like anno online does with the collectibles. Another way to do it would be to have a flag appear above the marching general. Could have his star menu icon on the flag or something else so the generals are differentiated.
How about giving us a new kind of buff. A reduction in production time buff. Make it cheaper then current baskets to make. but instead of magically giving us more for less. It reduces the production time by 1/2 or 1/3. That was for those people who do not worry about using up a resource like stone,wood, etc. Can use a cheaper buff because it causes speed up production instead of magically making more per cycle.
another BONUS for Premium players should be this: Take away the travel times for generals going and returning from adventures
Thank you for submitting the last one! I name all my Generals (and explorers/geologists for that matter) It makes it very personal, and I task each by name as far as responsibilities or priority!Quote:
