What information would you like to see on the "main" page for a country?

Well....off topic..how about weapons tech on the attack page? Like we have in spy page, where it tells you your spy tech % :-)

Mess with me you better kill me, or I'll just take your pride & joy and jack it up

would be nice to see if you have dead allies somewhere, perhaps an alert or notice

how about priority settings for messages that treat them differently so a

'weve been attacked' is high and a 'vote for me on something' is low

could be used in combo with other changes to lower entry barrier to warring such as making offline killing more coordinated for new tags

you could have a clan wide offline target message that updated rather than sending many messages for example

The message system is really bad, I would want new messages on top not on the bottom like any modern email service. Also they need to be collapsed as standard so you an scroll them easily. Perhaps even sortable by sender and searchable would be nice too but not priority.

Ohh and yeah the most important thing: I want to see what I sent in relation to what they sent so I can have an actual conversation.
Just copy the forum message system. Copy paste. It's good enough.

I dont have a problem with the current main menu but as koh said, weaps tech and perhaps govt bonus on the war room would be nice. Maybe the tag admins offline target updates can go directly to war room? And spy target message could go straight to the spy room?

from what gerdler said being able to select a currently set tag target like you do a war dec'd target would be nice

its not really a main menu change

although having a 'we have a kill target its this guy' section on the main menu that you can click to attack that guy would actually be a nice change

What about a customizable area for clan admins? They can manage it and add whatever they feel is most advantageous. WE ARE UNDER ATTACK; SAVE ALL TURNS; BOOBS ARE GREAT etc.

Reading this made me think:

What if on the "War Room" Page, under the types of attacks, Clan Admins can Declare War on entire tags. Then all members of that Clan will see on their Main Menu "Currently at War with (insert tag here)".

Or they can write that themselves in the customizable area like i suggested =P

That would be a cool new function but it would have to do more than tell your clanmates you were at war with "X"

Yeah but if you pay attention (novel concept I know) to the tag you are supposed to be hitting and then when you load up your target - if you see it doesn't match then BOOM lowers the chance of an awkward conversation on AT.

maybe if you have received an attack in the last 10 minutes - buttons to autobuy some military 50k,500k,2m,etc

to help combat Xyles super OP unstoppable speed kills that only take 85 minutes to setup

I have started netting. And I believe there should be a land redistribution system. It's not fair that there's certain countries with more land than me. We should take a socialist approach. I don't want to work to get land but the people that do should redistribute that land to me and other skinny countries. So I guess there should be like a tab where you can just get land from people with more than you?

Good idea no?

Can add a link for Tag Admin to clear all old Clan News?
It's annoying that all the old clans news is removed 1 by 1 by clicking/refreshing on the Main Menu currently.

Thanks for all the additional responses -- I made a few notes of things to include (including some of the more fluffty experiences like clearing clan admin news)

Currently the way it works with too many units typed in, is it just sends the max. Is that functionality being removed? I occasionally have found it useful the way it is

If you give a man some fire, he'll be warm for awhile. If you set a man on fire, he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

Good question!

Still debating on how to make that work. In an earlier iteration, any input where you add > what the max available is, it'll just cap it to the max. So if you have 1500 troops and type in 3000, it'll turn into 1500 as you hit the third zero in "3000".

yeah I actually like the current functionality with typing in more units than I have. I often just buy up enough to break then just type "7m" or "7mk" just to quickly send all
