Well, apparently this has not been proposed before.
Proposal: Make a top down and simplified view (like Elven-Architect) available by placing the city in re-arrange mode.
The player would also be able to perform other actions like productions or upgrades
Pros:
1. Time: the spire introduced a large new time sink in the game. Numerous other enhancements have reduced the time require to perform other mundane tasks. The time required to summit the spire is a real stress than can be reduced by other time saving innovations.
2. Errors: the current frequently obscured selection logic results in selection errors by not hitting the correct item.
3. Managing the Orc mushroom farm would not be such a miserable experience. (do your turn, go to mobile to do the shrooms, back to PC).
4. It will be possible to consistently and unambiguously select L1 plank and marble factories.
Note: Sometimes, I find an L1 marble factory cannot be selected on one device and I have to go to the other and mess with it. I think marble is the worst for this for some reason.
5. It will be easier to re-arrange the moonstone footprint. Also find and manage other 1x1 and 1x2 buildings.
6. Setting up the T farms for the events will be faster and easier.
7. This view will be always be available. ElvenStats and ElvenArchitect have outages.
Cons:
1. Reduce traffic to a huge friend of the Elvenar community: Elven Architect. This is not trivial.
2. It's a non-trivial change - even if Elven Architect donated the rendering tool.
3. There are a lot of other changes that I would like to see before this one. I'm sure that they have been discussed and probably approved.
a. The simplified terrain layout view before selecting troops. This is another huge time saver for those who manually fight
b. Click through productions like in the app on the PC
c. Select all (as for workshops) in production for both.
