Scout Intermission

[Ashrem]

Since there's no event running, it's not really an issue currently, but it would be good to deal with the confusion around when chapters begin before the next event.

I've had two thoughts on this. The first is to simply move the advanced scouts to the end of the chapter previous, so the page break is cleaner. The second is much more complex, involving moving the scouts into a smaller "sub-chapter" with or without any other tech. There is usually a Squad size upgrade and City expansion at the end of chapters, followed almost immediately by the Scout advancement. Those three items could be lumped together into a "research breakthrough" block (perhaps including the "wonders") that serves as an intermission between chapters and represents a leap forward in technology that opens the next story.

Or just do the first one, and move scouts to the previous chapter. But please, for the sake of newish players entering the game, do something before the next event.

Agreed, it should either be moved to be the last item of a chapter, or one should be considered to actually be IN the next chapter as soon as one dumps at least one KP in the research.
Its something that has been discussed before and, as usual, inno has not paid any attention or deemed to reply to it or acknowledge it in any way.

And as suggested before, it really would be nice to be able to cancel a scout.

I requested this in an e-mail to Support explaining how misleading the placement of the Advanced Scouts tech is and Support said they would pass it on to the devs. Not sure if they did and, if they did, if the devs even bothered to consider it.

And there is one of the main problems: a complete lack of feedback from that devteam on playersuggestions. The fact that things get passed on is hardly noteworthy, its what they ask for. Its what happens next that is important and the silence is deafening.
