User Interface Big, big, numbers

If you put a lot of EE spells out and get your culture bonus way, way up...in my case around 700% you find you are constantly emptying your coin and supply storage. If you have a Golden Abyss and/or Prosperty Towers, they produce so much that there's never enough storage. That's not the problem. The problem is the 148265894 number compared to the 10658924 number. Long numbers are difficult to read if they aren't broken up with commas. 148,265,894 is much easier to compare to 10,658,924. So, I suggest that if they are going to give us the full number, they put commas in so we can read it much, much easier, no matter where it pops up.

YES! Although as an (ex) European I would prefer a dot instead of a comma.
I know, I know, Americans are using comma's and dots as well, but they do it the wrong way, just like they write dates the wrong way, or use Fahrenheit (absolute insane system) and use the Imperial measurements (after fighting a war to get independent of that Empire no less), except when the numbers get too small, then they use metric, or when it's more convenient like using 'clicks' (kilometers).

With that little rant done, I actually don't care whether the game would use a comma or a dot, either would make things way more clear.

Europeans are weird and use commas in numbers the way we use decimal points, so the game programming would probably have issues if they used a comma to mean two different things.

LOL. I would disagree there; it's Americans who use things the wrong way.

But I also said I don't care which one they use, as long as they use something to make the totals in the big number more clear. Even more important on smaller screens.
So let's hope this suggestion makes it through to the devs

To me as an original european dots are only used to increase readability of big numbers every three digits, like 1.000.000. for one million.
I do strongly agree that using commas instead of dots for that is simply wrong and will especially within programs will have the ability for producing mathematical mistakes of several kinds.

Dots are for after the end, to show partials towards a whole. I guess we know why the game doesn't have this.

You should try being Canadian, lol, we use a bizarre mix of metric and imperial. Meaning that most things are in metric except for anything to do with cooking or baking. I measure in cups, tea and table spoons and use oven settings in Fahrenheit. Not only but we teach our young to do the same. Except if we live in Quebec. So all recipes and packaging use both.
