Extra Action tiles

[shamusj909]

I had a construction extra action tile and a forum extra action tile. After using the construction action, I chose the tile that gives an extra forum action. The implementation only gave me the option to use the forum extra action and not the construction extra action, shouldn’t I have the option of doing either? Why was I only given the option to copy the construction bonus action, and not the construction action itself?

Hello,
it's working like this: The interface proposes one possibility after another.
If you take the first one, it is executed and the turn will finish. If you decline the first one, the interface asks if you want to make the other one.

Quite simple... but a bit stressing if you do not know it, I admit.

Have a nice game nevertheless and try to win it!

Thank you.

Yes it’s stressing as there’s no undo/restart turn!

Therefore there’s no way for the first time user to know this sequence without declining the first option. It’s a shame about the bad UI.

Perhaps I can make a proposal for an enhancement to one of our "prime"-coders.

(It's not a shame itself, it's just old-style, memory-efficient coding, I presume...)

Yes thanks, that would be better for the user.

Yes thanks, that would be better for the user.

Done!

At your service!

You’re the greatest. Thank you.

What’s the average turn around time for development requests like this to go live?

Eurhm... no, I'm rather tall and growing bigger, but not great for sure
To be serious: It depends on... availabilty. For certain games like Rallyman, rather fresh on site, things - bugs in fact, as they may still happen - are sorted out mostly within 24 hours.
For Trajan, can't remember that a bug has been reported in the last year. And as the demand is simply to re-style the GUI, it won't be regarded as urgent, I fancy.
But administrators and coders here are really nice guys with a lot of good will (but they are VERY few... one payed full-timer and two non-payed volunteers working on free-time beside their normal life), and they try to be reactive as much as possible.

Fair enough

I hope changes like these can grow the users for you as I can see many new trajan users being put off.
