Proposal:
When the 'collect all finished production' icon is not being displayed, display the time until it will be displayed.
Have you Checked the Ideas section for the same idea posted by someone else? Yes. Is this idea similar to one that has been previously suggested? No
Reason:
If the next collection is in 15 seconds I want to wait and deal with it.
If the next collection is in 3 hours I want get on with something else (work, emails, real-life, etc.).
At the moment I do not easily know when the next collection will be ready, I would have to look at each production building in turn to work out when this will be.
I do not want game notifications turned on on my phone.
Details:
FoE is monitoring production buildings all the time for the production of coins, supplies, goods and units in order to determine when to display the 'collect all finished production' icon.
When the 'collect all finished production' icon is NOT being displayed it could be replaced with an icon displaying a countdown to the next collection event (or possibly the time at which the next collection event will occur).
This would mean that players would not need to keep checking the game all the time to see if there is a collection event to process, they could get on with something else knowing in advance when to come back and check.
Visual Aids:
None
Balance:
I do not think this opens the game to exploits or cheating.
Abuse Prevention:
I do not think this opens the game to exploits or cheating.
Summary:
This change would enhance the game by allowing players to know in advance when they need to check the game.
Currently, players need to frequently visit the game to 'see it anything needs doing', annoying when there is nothing to do.
