Topic: Troop Desertion / Starvation: In Family News:

I think if your family got warning messages in the family news that someone was starving or someone had troops disbanding and deserting their fleets then perhaps could be really helpful.

Even if it was just 1 message:

Bob - Has begun starving

Bob - Troops are disbanding

Guess you would not need it flashing up every tick just at the time it begins.


I think this would be helpful, maybe I'm wrong, but is easy to end up AFK for a day, work, life, mates, going out and so on, so in those periods where a player is away for a day or two then it could come in real handy to keep their income rolling or troops in defense and so on.

Think it could help new players, smaller players, help correct simple mistakes, also serves as a reminder for people to send aid, sometimes easy to forget when in battle, too busy fighting to see you have 80 mill food there that needs sending, same for bankers easy to log off and leave a smaller attacker with 200gc and a -10'000 income.

Perhaps I'm just been totally dense tongue and have over looked something or missed such messages, but in my eyes we already get a warning message when we are starving, could that not be linked to the family news just once on the first tick it begins.

Re: Troop Desertion / Starvation: In Family News:

Yes just about every idea in IC has been mentioned before, kind of one of those games where someone has always thought of that first but guess the more you ask the better chance of the change happening.

I had assumed that would be a very simple charge, hardly earth shattering to link one more think to the family news, or at least I would not imagine it is.

Torq recently supported a similar idea, so i see no reason why this will not also be looked at, assuming Torq is still doing stuff..

Re: Troop Desertion / Starvation: In Family News:

This looks like a good idea! Definitely very useful.

For the rest of you..
Where has it been mentioned before? Cos I do not recall?
Where did I mention its on the "to do" list? -_-
What idea did I support that is similar? -_-

I think I'm getting forgetful in my old age, lol :s

Thanks Torqez I'm glad someone likes this idea big_smile and thanks to Render for the assist big_smile think it could be useful this, perhaps not a major change either would assume its just a matter of linking one more thing to the family news and somehow only making it appear once when the starvation or desertion begins.

I am also very shocked that NAPS do not appear in the family news sad big sad face on that one, if you sign a NAP with someone or someone cancels on you then why is that also not in the family news?   

I'm sure its all been said before so guess could say this is to memory slap lol big_smile

Re: Troop Desertion / Starvation: In Family News:

Meh it makes sense, but tbh I'm against most ideas that reduce the need for communication between families.  With smart phones/wifi everywhere now there's not really much excuse to be disbanding for long periods of time...it takes about a minute to log on and shoot a message to someone tongue

Re: Troop Desertion / Starvation: In Family News:

(like a say in my famnews v2.0)
Konsider the idea only Revalons should be showed starving in fam news, why?

bekause every player in the family is always starving but bankers. So, if you dont want your fam news spammed with starving msgs every tik, they have to be only related to bankers, and how does the program differ a kustom raze to be banker?? by inkome? and how muzh inkome mean the raze is banker?? then a quantum is a banker too?? and a pazz??
Nah it would be komplikated to inklude kustom bankers and other razes, but Revalons are ALWAYS bankers, and most of times pop bankers, and thats waht really matters.

Guess my point was more for unexpected advances, accidents, called into work, internet goes down and so on.

1 simple message would perhaps help in such cases
