Bunch of suggestions

After playing about month this game, I can say what features should be added or improved. So here is list of features by priority:

Must have:
1. City renaming. Player should have opportunity to name his city as he wants to. At least in two cases: when creating new city and when stealing others one. This is default feature in such games.
2. Mail system. Currently there is no system. There is mess. We strongly need same filter as in market for resources - row of buttons with icons 'War reports', 'Scout', 'Trade reports', 'Letters', 'Alliance'.
3. World chat. I had many annoying hours when some players spam in world chat, and all that stuff was overlaying all info on main window. You should truncate world messages before displaying them on main screen, or add option to switch off displaying these messages on main screen.
4. Market. Chests and enhancement stones It is impossible to sell that items. It should be possible to sell anything you can buy.
5. Upgrades after 15 lvl. This is not a handy staff for vip account. So, it cant be sold for coins. Otherwise all players should write feedback on android market that game is not free. We pay for vip time, but all other stuff should be possible to obtain without coins. E.g. we can buy equipment in market for coins, but we also can hunt it (but it will take long time). Cropland, Mine and Mill updates cannot be obtained in any time.

Nice to have:
1. Map. City levels. Player levels should be highlighted on map. Perfect way is displaying different city image for levels 1-5, 6-10, 11-15 etc.
2. Map. Inactivities. All players with level 0 should be displayed with grey color, not red. Currently searching someone with level > 0 is a headache.
3. Market. Treasure levels. When buying treasures in market, I need to select treasure type. This is a looooong list with all items and all item levels! I'm bored with scrolling that list. Remove levels from it. E.g. create grid with treasures icons (nugget, medal, armor, horse etc). After selecting treasure type, player can select treasure level (if it is equipment).
4. Map. Scouting. When I scout someone on the map, I need to close scout message, close map, open letters, select that scout report, and open it (thanx for adding 'find on map' button - now I don't need to open map again and search that location). I think much better would be display report on first step. You click scout. You see report. You close it and return to map.
5. City context menu. Traiding. It should be possible to trade between players. E.g. add button 'Trade' to buttons 'Scout', 'Attack', 'Send letter'.
6. Oasis context menu. Resign and dispatch. These two buttons close to each other. And we don't have any warning when trying to resign. Several times I wanted dispatch troops to oasis, but instead resign it. Was unhappy with this.
7. Main screen. Attack warning. Missed a lot of attacks, because there is no changes on main screen when time to command troops. Timer just disappears. It's hard to notice. Make it glow red. With message 'Attacking'. Also will be great to have some notification like phone vibration.
8. Equipment. Enhancement levels. Display enhancement level on equipment. It's not handy to take it off, go to treasures and verify level, or ask someone to scout you. You can also combine this feature with option [3] in this list.
9. Attacking and defending. Tactics. Would be nice to have option to change default troops behavior. E.g. inf forward, cats wait and attack archers. Or at least wait/forward option. Really bored with selecting each troop and changing its behavior on each attack.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All items in Must have list are really significant for me. Without this stuff, I will not spend money to this game and buy vip time.

Many items items in Nice to have list could be added to vip options. That will make me more motivated to buy vip time.

Thanx, Serge.

the upgrades that cost are and advantage to those willing to pay, if you aren't willing you don't get the advantage simple as.

The stones/chests can be sold to npc, if able to sell on market it's open to abuse. vitually everything you have suggested has already been talked about in the suggestions section of the forum.

My advise is to have a look around the forum before you post topics, also check out the guides section which will have info and tips on how to be competetive without purchasing coins.

Good luck

Read again what I wrote about free games concept. There is no such 'advantages' on free games. I'm willing to pay vip time for handy interface and other features, wiling to buy equipment, stones and treasures to save my time hunting it. But those updates is out of free game concept. Think again.

The stones/chests can be sold to npc, if able to sell on market it's open to abuse.

What kind of abuse? You can sell horse or nugget. Is that abuse too? Think again.

I have read much of suggestion on the forum. But there is no compilation of them as prioritized list of features for game developers. Or give me a link for that list.

Good luck

The abuse he is talking about isn't so bad on the open market, the idea of the abuse with enhancement stones and stuff is more when someone brings up the topic of private trading, however... The abuse would people with many alts transferring all their enhancement stones to one account to enhance things to a very high level. And the abuse with selling gold and silver boxes is pretty much the same concept but opening them on the receiving end, which isn't really abuse but whatever.

Anyway my opinion on your suggestions is that they are all very good suggestions. Sure many of them have been suggested before, but I think they would all make good additions to the game

You don't need to spend a ton of money to get good in this game.

I'm level 19 on s102 only spending $20 last september! I've gotten 2k free coins on that account.

On s38 I gained over 500 free coins.

On s83 I've gained 1000 free coins.

I'm not a huge fan of many of your suggestions, mainly because with a tiny bit of searching I can find a detailed suggestion rather than a vague l
one

i think the above poster has some valid points...

the renaming city would only be good for your subs... I mean ur username should stay the same name... but subs should be able to change .. i did mone on impule and tbh want to change them lol

the letter system is annoyin... pop out scout reports direct from spot would be better than having to sift thru letters... and maybe sections as u said would help...

good ideas tho

Thanx! I hope that developers will not be lazy and implement most of that lists.

nIcKrOx,
2000 coins? How?

2000 coins? How?

PVP, Competitions, tapjoy etc

1. Good idea and already been suggested but there should be a cost, maybe 5 coins.

2. Again already suggested but still a good idea. 5 tabs would be way too complicated though, I think 3 would be enough.

3.Mute the spammers? It can be annoying but can be useful if someone pm’s you and your not on chat.

4. This would reduce Haypi’s income by a large amount as buying e-stones to get lvl 20 enhance is a huge money maker and this would be destroyed if you could simply buy on the market.

5.As has been already said you pay to have that advantage. Anyway, the only field worth upgrading is crop and that only gives you an extra 10k production per city (with lvl 10 tech) and is far from necessary. And you CAN hunt high lvl equipment and treasures such as sceptres.

1.I can see the level fine without colour indicators and this would just confuse people when combined with different colours for allies.

2. Maybe, but not that important.

3. Could be useful, but the extra loading time to get through the level selection could mess up trades.

4. I like scouting loads of places then going to the letter box and see what surprises are in store. Having it pop up as soon as you select ‘scout’ just isn’t the same.

5.private trading has been suggested many times and denied because of obvious abuse with alternate accounts.

6.Never had a problem with this

7.That’s your fault for not remembering or setting an alarm on your device. Its pretty easy to notice the timer reach 0:00:00 if your looking at it.

8. Why do you need to take it off? Going on the equipment whilst it is equipped tells you the enhancement lvl……..

9. This completely defeats the purpose of commanding. If your so bored with it then change to a cav/arch army. Commanding that is what makes it or breaks it and is not just a matter of simply selecting ‘wait’ on all units.

Never did any of the tapjoy things, mainly got em thru referrals and pvp (could never win the writing comps )
