4 Ideas to improve the game

[Requin]

I have some ideas (i think somes can be done easily by a regular of the game development) I'm sorry for my bad english, if you need a better explanation of an idea, just request me!

-Add an option to show FPS in game.

-Add an option to show a timer of the game duration in game.

-Add a feature to create a groupe of units (exemple: when one is selected, the group is selected, and all in the group does the same task). That'll make less lag i think.

-For multi: If connection/computer... crash; add the possibility to join back the game you were disconnected.

 

 

For modding, i'm really into it, but it's a bit hard cause of the old tutorials, (with german screenshot - sorry if it's not german). If someone want to update it
Think about his page in particular https://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/CreatingNewUnits

Hi ,

I think that all first 3 features are presented. Look into the options for first 2. I think it is in Game section or In-Game. Dont know, but somewhere in settings

For group of units, select units you want and press ctrl + 1,2,3 ... The group with selected number will be created. Later just perss 1, 2 ... for the group of units you want.

Rejoining to multiplayer should be possible, if there is no AI player. AI does not work well with that.

Also @stanislas69 or someone from Comunity of moders can help you start with modding.

All four ideas are implemented, check the options and HotKeys.

Besides restarting a multiplayer game if the host crashes

Thanks for the answers !! I'm sorry (and happy) to know there is already these functions !
It's been a long time since I started playing and I'm still discovering a lot!

I recently do the tutorial (yes playing a lot and never done the tuto ) and I found it quite boring: too many text
+ a lot of mistakes in French (so i join the translation and improved it - i hope ) but i think something can be done better:
Highlight the main things

Exemple from a random text:
(Original) Select the Civic Center, then hover the cursor over a tree and right-click when you see the cursor change into a Wood icon.

Select the Civic Center, then hover the cursor over a tree and right-click when you see the cursor change into a Wood icon.
Select the Civic Center, then hover the cursor over a tree and right-click when you see the cursor change into a Wood icon.
Select the Civic Center, then hover the cursor over a tree and right-click when you see the cursor change into a Wood icon.

 

I don't know which is better (and if i highlight the good things) but it can make a quick landmark for eyes on this big text.
I hope you can understand what i want to mean

Oh and for idea three my idea was to select them and can't make one does something different than others, like there is one AI (instead of one + one + one + one.... doing the same thing) Think it would be easier for performances ?
