Army troop adding

[Shadownation]

Here is an idea to save time when purchasing additional troops for a army...

Instead of clicking add 500,1000,5000 etc it would be good if we could type in the amount we want.

For instance say each troop cost 0.1geos, we type in 78 troops to be added it cost 7.8 geos.

Some people may favour this idea so they can maximise the amount of troops they can buy, they may just like to be precised therefore saving time having to click 'add troops' a load of times etc.

TOLD YA LUKE! :D
I wanted this to be a donator feature...he blew me off. :(

I would like that feature, I posted in another thread to add an ability to move troops from army to army from within the same city or home base. It would be a great help to not have to select from the drop down box but to type in the exact number you want, simmilar to how the stock market works. It shows you how much of what stock you can buy at the given price. It would be great to have you can buy X numbers of troops, and you have a list of all your armies from 1-n, what city they are in or "Home Base". Then below that you have a box where you put your army's number in and type in the ammount of troops to add to it.

Yes, I vote for this feature also, Why can't we just type the amount we require?

And while we on it;

It is possible at all that one can do all the army updates like purchasing troops, renaming, moving to so and so all at once? It's anoying to go back to an army and do it individually eyerytime. :)

This is a very good idea. :bang

God, I hate that. Like when you're only trying to add 450 troops or something:
250 troops, purchase . . . .
100 troops, purchase . . . .
100 troops, purchase . . . .
I don't know if I'm lazy or what, but this seems like a really good idea. Oh, and each troop should still cost .075 geos like they do now. It doesn't seem like much difference, but by the time you get 1,000 troops, it saves you 25 geos.

By the way . . . how many of the suggestions on this forum have actually been put to use? Just wondering . . . .

How much time do you think each one costs to program? ;)
For 3 people with actual lives we've been busy with the game each day.
So when you guys come up with good suggestions, they get written down.
And then when you are really out of luck, a big bug takes the whole game offline and no time can be spent in coding new features.
And one other note...more features have been coded then people think, but they are still being tested on the testserver before they get moved into the game.

i like the idea.

Hi all

Wait for the new version. It will be live in the testarea by the end of the weekend as i had some free days to finish it. It will fix a lot of security and speed relevant issues and also adds some usability improvements.

I have created web page with one form.
I enter army ID and number of troops to be purchased in text box and it buys how many troops I want.
But what I don't see reason for is: why is when I buy some number troops option value in dropdownbox ten times less - for 100 option value is 10, etc? Some mystery of Mickey's?
