Inventory: add Create Offer functionality

[AntiDuck]

You are not supposed to guess. What gave away I do not like it?

Dear Agent, seems like I'm not good enough for you - in terms of anything I write. Let us stop at this point, I haven't come here for dog fight.

Clicking on the "happy face" does nothing. Hovering the cursor over the happy face shows happiness details.
MIS-clicking on the Goods icon next to the happy face opens the inventory on the goods tab. Hovering the cursor over the Goods icon shows amount of current era goods.

For some reason, I always try to click on Happy Face. I don't know why. For last ... 9 months, I guess. I always click (instead of just hovering). For Goods icon - I misclick happy face or event button (just as I said).
As to hovering on Goods icon - I have no use for it, but sometimes it triggers me to hover ... then click on this icon - just to see the Goods list and say again to myself - why I did that, I can't trade from here!
I would say, after couple of hundreds of such surprises, I finally decided to write to a forum - it's like the stone in the middle of regular trail - sooner or later you start to think you're bored to stumble upon it. And try to remove this stone.

- in my town I balance between zero and negative hapiness, and check if I should motivate my cultural building by myself - quite often.

You should never have to motivate your own cultural buildings. Build GB's that increase happiness; Hagia, Alcatraz etc...

I misclick happy face or event button

They have actually changed that a while ago (after player feedback, I suppose), so the event button is now a bit further away from the icons on the top than it used to be.

I misclick …

So, the problem is not really the Goods list in inventory, but rather that you have to train your clicking skills :-))

You're right. However, I mentioned Icon in the top, which leads to opening "Goods" tab in Inventory.
Yes, game designers offer various ways to reach same dialogs, which is little bit unusual.
But if they have this icon in the top - they can make it this list of Goods work better, right?

Wrong.

Just open the market. Better than that it does not get.

So cause you are doing weird things and can not keep yourself from repeating them again and again, the game needs to be changed?

Or! Or! The world around me can adjust itself right to my needs

With the Archaelogy I was clicking always wrong - event instead of happy face 4 out of 5 clicks. Probably, event banner was too big.

Thanks for advice! But, I've decided once not too build too many "magic" GBs, and tend to play FoE with 2 GBs only, being stuck in Early Middle ages. Guild Expedition and especially Guild Battleground are very nice and easy at this age. Pure "Plaisir de nirvana" (c) Army of lovers
In our little Guild we got people with like, 8 Magic Wells, and 7 Great Buildings, and 10 "huts" that make FP - this looks little too much of Disneyland to me.

GE and GBG are not easier in lower ages. GE/GBG is as easy/difficult in EMA as it is in SAAB. How easy or difficult it is mostly depends on you attack boosts (which you can increase by building the right GBs).
But hey, alright, play the game with only 2 GB's. Your choice. Why not? Good luck. :-)
Some players - mostly very experienced players - challenge themselves to play the game without GB's. Why shouldn't you?

Let me say - I'm very happy I'm in Early Middle ages. Once I move to High Middle - I immediately will be a low-level player with lack of both resources and troops - and it will take ~300 FP and 4 weeks to advance, right?
In our guild we have people in Iron age - and both negotiations and fights are so much easier for them.
Would you consider invest 100 Lumber or 100 Coffee in average Guild Battleground negotiations?

To me, the most hard challenge is lack of space on a map and lack of time.
At the moment, we (our guild) is slowly approaching the idea of touching Guild Continent Map - where you need hundreds of goods for every move. And well, we're not ready yet.
