Game Tweaks

So, i figure, since there's a whole heap of tweaks we'd like to see, that I'd start this sticky, to list them for Jason to add for us.

I figure, if we can give him a few, he can at least do these, whilst we wait for the next update (if it comes lol)

Not Done
*Ability to use the raid button, whilst over raid cap, to simply kill off UU
*Show new and unread messages similar to the forum in-game
*Ability to enable/disable the display of (' ', ',', '.') for digit groupings, and select which the user wishes to see
*Kicking an officer checkbox
*Fully customisable income percentages for officers AND/OR ability to say 'give no income' to your officers

Need Confirmation
*Ability to specify whom can send out alliance-wide PMs (though, we should wait and see if this is included in the alliance update)
*Be able to view officer relations. Be it just for war settings or all
*3IC or diplomat position

Done
*Able to spy officer for free (no covert turns)
*Reset personal relations checkbox
*Reset personal and officer relations checkbox
*Make "Race Rankings" option visible whilst viewing relation for personal and alliance ranks
*Provide Date AND Time time-stamp on logs from days prior to the current (similar to market page)
*Modify Recon logs to contain alliance, army size, and available naq in the report
*Ability to be able to see whom is on vacation. Perhaps just for CO and 2IC(this includes auto-banned as well)


Any more, post in here, and I'll update the list.

If you post quickly, i might be able to ask at the meet in like 9 hours ;)

Re: Game Tweaks

You can see the "Race Rankings" from the normal battlefield, but not when viewing by relation or alliance.

Re: Game Tweaks

1)
I'd like to see all my logs include a date AND timestamp, no matter if it just happened or if it is 10 days old... :-)

2)
I'd like to see who has set relations with my officers... :smt047
(no not additional inbox messages, tyvm... find another way.)

3)
I'd like the ability of the ACO & 2iC to be able to give alliance-wide message privileges to whomever they want... diplomats, directors of growth programs,
even to all members...
with checkboxes to include / exclude each member of the alliance...
so I could send an ingame message to all members of the alliance's senate... or half of them...


4)
I'd like the area with the bank space to display how many *NEW* messages you have... as well as how many UNread messages...

5)
I'd still like a designated 3iC... :D


6)
In the recon reports, even though it's available knowledge at the time,
I'd still like a copy of the following for reference purposes:

The current date & time stamp,

a copy of what the intel shows on the attack page...
(if you can see army size and naq out, or ??? if you can not...)

the target's current alliance membership, and Commander if applicable...

(all to better establish the chain of events leading to non-random wars...)


7)
I'd like Commanders to be able to turn down the Officer bonuses to zero...
(even if Jason has to place limits on it...)


8) I'd like to see DIGIT GROUPING... also known as commas!! ](*,)

on every number with more than 3 places... 1000 = 1,000... in all logs...
on all pages...

I know that some parts of the world use periods, and some parts use commas,
and I think the user should be able to set their own preference in one of the settings pages off the Command Center.


IF this is not the right thread for my suggestions, please feel free to split it into a separate topic. :D

Re: Game Tweaks

How about multiplying the number of ATs I currently have by 1,000?

*goes off to max out his ATs and buy some from the $ market...*

^^ spam... so while we're at it... how about you just give me your account... :lol:


but I'll make my post useful:

in the alliance member lists:
all of us should be able to see the vacationing players listed... rank 0...

so that we can keep tabs on long-lost friends, (and foes),
especially in light of the hacking of vacationing accounts a while back...

and / or have a way to look up any vacationing player, not on the regular attack pages, as they are used to often, and we know that lags the server... :)

2) You could just ask them. If you really think this is of worth wild, how are you ment to obtain this information?
5) Why? especially with your 3rd suggestion?
7) You can just kick them, then when you want to bump it back up, get them back. What is the point of having officers, apart from someone to freely spy on, if you give them nothing, and they give you nothing?

2) newbie officers have a tendency to disappear for days at a time,
without messaging me first,
often do to negative interactions with larger players...
if possible, I'd like to know before they get massed that we have a problem...
(perhaps even before my officers know... :D )

5) The 2iC is not typically the diplomat, but only the game-recognized ACO and 2iC can set alliance friendly relations...
and I can not count on getting Jason to add everything I want...

especially since it'd be easier coding for him to give us a 3iC as opposed to giving the recognized leaders the ability for every single alliance member
to write as many people in the alliance as they want...

7) It'd be nice to be able to offer what protection I can to my little noobish friends without forcing them to accept more income than they can reasonably handle...

this has a tendency to get them farmed by people in FUALL, etc. which is well beyond my ability to protect them...

but I also know Jason's not going to give me free UP, and I wouldn't expect him to... so I'd be willing to give that up. 8)

Re: Game Tweaks

2) So your saying, you want to know when they set some skilled player to war, so you can hopefully divert confrontations?

5) So you want a 3IC, to act more like a Diplo then an actual 3rd in command, if i'm reading this correctly.

7) Perhaps just a check box, like accept officers that says something like "Provide NO resouces for your officers (note, this means you will also not recieve the UP bonus from them)" ??

2) Or maybe I'd like to start the confrontation first... :smt047
nah, I'm relatively peaceful, at least compared to others here...
but I know a lot of commanders won't be avoiding... :lol:

5) Well, in the case of my alliance:
Yes, it would probably go to the (senior) diplomat,
who traditionally has a fair amount of power due to their many roles in our alliance.

So our senior diplomat often takes on, at least the aura of 3iC...


7) yeah, however Jason wants to do it, cool with me... :)
though I am one of those players who would also like to set individual officer bonuses... :)

7) I can see why. Some guy goes on vacation for a week, so why not be able to set them to 10% (or 0% if your could), or some new guy can't handle getting like 1-2b/turn whilst offline, so he only gets like 250m instead.

2) Mmm, i'm starting to understand the argument

5) Again, would be nice, someone to be able to step in as 2IC and act as diplo when the CO is there/not

Fully customisable income percentages AND/OR ability to say 'give no income'
That would kill farming and i think it's an horrible idea...

Um why? That is in relation to officers. Sorry if that's unclear. It was about being able to set officers to get 0 income from you, just so you can keep an eye on them, but not get them getting to much naq over night to be farmed for it

There ya go, hope that clarifies
