Advanced Search Option

Would it be possible to have an advanced seach option in the game. With this, it can allow you to search for players of a specific race only. It would also allow you to search for people not currently in any alliance. The reason behind this is that if an alliance is recruiting and dont want to steal another alliance's members, they can do a search for instance on all Tollans not in an alliance and get the list.

At this point in time you either have to have the persons name, or scroll through 100's of pages in the hopes of finding what you're looking for.

Your inputs are always welcome...

would it drop if only things like race specific search and unallianced search were implemented?

race specific could cut amount to search through down from about 70k to 8750

unallianced search might cut it in half, so (if separate from race search) it would be 35k, and if also race specific, about 4375...

of course, a few of those might be inactives, but even if half of those are tiny inactives, it is still over 2100 to search through... so not that easy after all...


searches like army size, income, up and such would remove strategy&skill, the above wouldnt...

personally i don't care but if you said searching for a certain army size or income...
the first one doesn't help anything, the second, unless you got a big strike won't help you since you'll keep getting people on ppt or with big defs

How can you even think about doing a search on stats! :shock:

Heck, where the HELL did the importance of Covert go if you'd do that!?
You'd just go and say "give me all UP above 800k total" and whops! There's ***. (I won't say.) :P
That's bs.


So. You are too lazy to look through a minor amount of pages? Tssk... it's only 2k of them. :D Besides... you should recruit going through pages. You should recruit people you know, ask people in other alliances to recruit for you, etcetera... and the best way, is to recruit by becoming MAJORLY well known. But yeah... that takes *more* time than reading through 2k pages. ;)
