It would be nice to have some sort of auto-buyer and notifications for allocating KP to Ancient Wonders, along with some sort of management screen.
For example, I put 2 KP into SuzyQ's Golden Abyss. I do other things for a while and in the meantime JonnyB puts 5 KP into SuzyQ's Golden Abyss. When JonnyB does that I get a notification which pops up on my screen when I'm in my city. The notification says something like, "Egad, you've been outdone! Would you like to increase your donation?" and then it lists SuzyQ's Golden Abyss research stats so I can see that JonnyB has put in more than I have. In the notification it has a little box where I can select or type in a certain amount of KP to additionally donate now that I'm aware of some competition. Additionally there is a little check box which says "automatically donate at log-in" and a spot to select or type in a certain amount as well. So if I type in the notification screen to donate an additional 5 KP now it'll go to SuzyQ's Golden Abyss immediately without me having to leave my city. Plus if I type in an additional 10 KP next to the automatic box and check it, then the next time I log into my city 10 KP will automatically go into SuzyQ's Golden Abyss every time until her AW is upgraded and the rewards have been dispersed. Additionally a management screen for donated KP would be nice, so I can adjust how much to automatically donate to who and so I can at any time see where my KP investments are allocated and so I can make additional donations to places I've already donated to from that screen. Of course, any initial donation of KP to an AW will have to be done manually by visiting that AW in the city of choice, this applies for the very first KP donation and also each time after the AW is upgraded and the research bar reset.
This streamlining of interaction with the AW's is useful for at least 3 reasons.

- The quicker and easier KP is to spend the more likely a player is to buy KP from the game, which in turn encourages diamond purchases.
- The easier it is to manage KP allocations the more usefulness a player will feel about donating KP, and a happy player is a frequent player.
- Plus it will make the AW's seem quite a bit more useful when more people are readily donating KP. This will ensure that more players will use the AW's in their cities.
