Production Boosts in Fellowship UI (Example Pictures!)

[Ember Isolte]

I have 2 suggestions illustrated below that would make the Fellowship UI more helpful for everyone at a glance. This would potentially help 1) players seeking Fellowships, 2) Fellowships recruiting new members, and 3) Fellows needing a quick reminder of who might have what.

Suggestion 1 - Show Players' Production Boosts directly in the Members list of the FS window.

Suggestion 2 - Show total number of FS members for each Production Boost in the Overview tab.

I understand, the UI window may not have a lot of room to work with for spacing and alignment, but I felt it was worth suggesting. What do you think?

I think these are great ideas and would find them extremely valuable. It would save time making our own lists and keeping track individually.

Why is that? Is there any reason that the interface can't be bigger? When I open the FS page, why can't it display 13 instead of 9? There's always a big gap between my city name at the top and my action bar at the bottom. Same with the trader and pretty much every UI.

Spoiler: This is with 100% browser zoom

Oh, I don't know for sure. I guess I just felt that it was polite to give the devs the benefit of doubt as if there is some code they don't want to mess with so as not to screw something up while adding UI improvements. XD

I personally think this is a great idea....

Now that I think of it, this would also help players who are seeking a fellowship. You could see at a glance if your boosts are likely to be in demand.

Awesome idea.

This is a GREAT idea!

 

[DeletedUser6625]

great idea! have trouble remembering who is boosted in what and what the fellowship needs to balance out the boosted goods.

Applause!

You should code for the game.

The only issue I have with this is that it doesn't go far enough to give info for balancing a fellowship.
Unless you have 24 players with the exact same boost % and factory levels you can still have a very unbalanced FS even with 8 of each boost.
Perhaps more informations like this:

You're right Soggy. In my fellowship, we thought we had a silk and gem shortage based on the number of players. After calculating everyone's factory levels and boosts, we realized we actually have a scrolls and dust shortage instead. That information would be extremely valuable and might be worth far more than simply knowing how many of each player we have. Though I still would like to see the boost symbols on the roster as well.

Ooh yes!! I agree with you Soggy! Showing the total production levels like that would be way more beneficial!
