It seems too much of an emphasis on speed in building walls. The faster you and click and drag the better off you are.

I'm not sure how easy it would be to implement, but I'd like to introduce an automatic "wall-up" button one day. Would sure save a lot of boring click and dragging.

The ability to auto produce from every city with the click of a button instead of having to go from country to country would help a lot in world games

No, please don't, making walls is an important balancing aspect of the game ...otherwise a player with more cities and units will always have an advantage over his opponent and this doesn't have to be skill related but rather the fact of initial expansion options and strategy of choice.

Being able to use the keyboard to buy and move units: * Select a city * Press CTRL + "hotkey assigned to that unit" to buy that unit * Press CTRL + SHIFT + "hotkey" to buy in increments of 5 * Press "hotkey" to select 1 unit of that type to the stack * Press SHIFT + "hotkey" to select 5 of that unit type * Press SPACE to move the selected units (this one would be interesting even if the above ones weren't implemented) Being able to build all reinforcements of a certain unit type from the unit menu:  (pretend the green button is some nice icon) In a game lobby, you can't see the level limits set by the map creator

I would love to have a hotkey assigned to stealth units in order to drag them all from the city without having to worry about moving infantry.

At the end game screen I would like to see some more graphs such as SP earned by turn, unit count by turn, and total number of cities by turn. Maybe you could also make it show each player's strategy next to their name and SP, but only if they are already dead or the game is over. So maybe you could make something like this on both the turn screen and the end game screen.

A Pause Button Sometimes, I'm in cw and someone rings at my door, last time I couldn't answer and the person went away, I never knew who it was. At other times, I receive phone calls or stuffs happens like someone dcs. When someone dc in cw, it create a lot of fuss and people need to tie and when they dont want to, it makes people angry and stuff... These things happens often and ruin good cws. With a pause button, when one dc, his teammates can pause the game so that nobody lose a turn and the cw can continue as if nothing happened. I propose that we get a pause button so that when something like that happens, one can pause the game for 4 minutes maximum (could be a definite time or not, but max 4 mins). To prevent abuse, a player could only pause once per game, or only one pause could be allowed per game. Since it's only 4 mins, it wouldn't be so bad anyway. That and an Undo button http://atwar-game.com/forum/topic.php?topic_id=17014 Thanks a lot

make the wall to be triangle it will be cool

i can understand why youd want such a feature as a rank 5, when everything is so slow and it takes you a good 30 seconds to form a single wall. But your speed builds up and a lot of high ranks can now wall in 5 seconds or less. It has become a part of the game, especially since theres skill in building certain walls, ie making your wall longer on a city to block a certain path beside it. id like to suggest making right click usable in game, if you right click on a city or a stack, you pull 1 unit out. That would speed up walling and wallfucking by reducing the need to open the menu everytime. also pulses ideas are great.

Oh another suggestion, id like to see a button beside the pictures of units that turns on and off auto in an individual city. It can be quite slow in a low turntime game opening that scroll menu to select a specific unit to autoproduce, especially in maps with many different unit types.

I'd like to have a functionality called "Advance mode". When you click on it, you can see the priority of your actual move and range. I'm looking for more, but I guess those two seems pretty easy to implement.

support this, great idea... i dont support automatic walls unless you make it option before the game start under advanced settings. so we could use in case some player is lagging or anything like that. wouls also be fun to have an option where no walls are allowed ofc under advanced settings

Right click is not allowed in Silverlight, so we can't use it in the current version. I believe it's possible in HTML5 (never tried), but since we want the game to be playable on mobile devices, we will have to stick to regular clicks only (no mouse over either).

Sorry about the inconsistency. Right now the game uses vectors, while the website uses png images. In HTML5 rank images will be from the same source in both places.

1. Official SP needed for rank 14. Mauzer is fast approaching 2m.  2. Allow 4 players to start a CW. I realize this isn't exactly an interface suggestion but I imagine it's an easy change that lots of people support. 3. Bring back the shoutbox! I thought this was a nice feature on the homepage not sure why it disappeared.

1. Or maybe we'll just make 13 the highest possible rank?  2. I don't believe 2 participants per coalition really qualify for it to be a "Coalition War". 3. Shoutbox was nothing but spam and insults. Frankly rather embarrassing. All useful messages were always on the forum.

Could we have a button or link to bring up the battle results? Most of the time, I don't have time to watch the battles, but there are a few occasion where it would be beneficial to see the results midway or near the end of the turn

if its not hard to make, i think rank 14 will be very helpfull and importand to implement.its good for any game, if you have some goals/reward for people to aim for and SP/rank serves the purpose of the carot (to the donkey) very well

Honestly outside of casual games i doubt many would attempt to play this game without a mouse or a touchpad. although if you can make what i suggested possible through a hotkey that would be great too. I think thats what pulse meant with this "* Press "hotkey" to select 1 unit of that type to the stack".

I tried the new version on a mobile. Granted, not much is implemented yet, but dragging units around, quickly zooming in/out and moving the map works awesome already, without us even trying to adapt anything for mobiles yet. Using touchscreen controls for this feels very natural.

In HTML 5 I would personally love to see if you could implement Extra Cities in every single game.. Instead of starting at the normal amount of cities, make the default 100+ Cities, and have to click it not be to 100+. Would really be helpful, also extremely helpful for those who don't have premium.. Thanks! EDIT: Not sure what category this goes in, but I wouldn't fit it in gameplay, since Id assume this would be extremely easy to implement!

Hahahaha I was dreaming of seeing someday a rank 15 myself! If you implement that, you'll break my dreams! (and possibly Mauzer's too)
Some people have even done 1 vs 1 cw. Believe me, 2 vs 2 is much better than that and it's viable. Anyway, it's not that important of a change since people still play them (yeah, I'm guilty as well....) Btw, is there a chance that what Clovis asked could be implemented?? (Some way to know our movement priority)

I cannot find the post now but what if we can make a use of the #g and #m codes? One game in AW have this link:  But when you give it to other person it is usually asked "Do you want to leave AtWar?" and instead of joining the game he get to AW home website.... A button for introduce those codes would be useful.

I think DS need to be tweaked maybe more expensive marines for cheaper helis. It a really cool strat the most dont play because of how expensive it is...also theres games when i play DS ukriane and have 35 helis in my cap and cant recap...maybe the gen should have an uprgrade to help your helis as far as range attack or maybe critical points.

Not by right click. To select a single infantry left mouse still on the city and the small window you select "1 infantry." This allows for the movement in one click without using the right click. Right click may be difficult to implement (silverlight) which is why I suggest this alternative.

Please make the chat tabbed rather than drop down multi select. Thats the way most games are on the internet and is way better that way. You shouldn't lose chats when moving from one tab to another. Only when in game should ally tab be highlighted. This way you won't lose chats when switching from one room to another. Obviously there should be a all chats tab as well where you can view all chats. This I don't think should be too hard to implement. You only need to make sure chats are persisting in each tabs.
