The first is to allow neighborly help for Ancient Wonders - one handshake = 1 kp added to the AW.
I like this idea, but I think people would quickly lose track of which peoples wonders they have donated to, and have to access the wonder anyway to check.. But if you do not really care about keeping track, then yes this is a nice, fast way to dump some knowledge points evenly spread out.
The other suggestion is to modify the pop-up that appears when you scroll over a cultural item. Instead of "This will increase culture for the next 8 hours," how about "This will increase culture by x amount for 8 hours," indicating how much increase will occur for each item in turn
There are a few things asked for over and over again to be added to this game such as a building rotate button, storage and a culture value mouse over for neighborly help..
I agree this needs to be implemented, but its been asked for soooo many times and never acted upon, that its either on the bottom of the developers list of things to do, or not on their list at all. Which is a shame since it would improve upon the neighborly help feature.
Many people get frustrated when their holy codex is polished for a whopping extra 110 culture, while their pond of recreation gets passed over
Yes this is true, but sometimes there is nothing left to help with in someone's city other then that holy codex.. If you have culture set as your preferred help and all available big culture has been polished by someone else then all that is left are the little things to click.
One way to stop this is get rid of all your little culture buildings, If you can make ponds of recreation and you still have the normal holy codex out as a source of culture then you are really hurting for culture.. Now if you have a holy codex out for visual reasons then you can not get angry at someone clicking it. And yes I do understand that you used the holy codex as an example and most likely you are also talking about older event buildings that people just do not want to sell off. But at some point they do become a hindrance
Another way to help yourself is to place all the good culture buildings next to your main hall, to give them the highest visibility and chance to be polished first.
But I do agree and so will most of the people on the forums, that a culture value mouse over is needed to improve upon the neighborly help system in the game
