I would like to be able to disable confirmation windows for Unassigning Heroes, discarding changes on the "Inspect Hero" screen, and activating Booster resources among others.



I recently played a multiplayer game with timed turns, and could not finish my actions because the lagging loading confirmation windows for each booster resource took too long. Needless to say this was INFURIATING. Some turns were just entirely dedicated to clicking the booster effects.



Early game this may not have an impact, but endgame was almost unplayable. Players were stuck making one stack of units only because managing builds, boosters, and heroes was too time consuming to manage more than that. I get that it is a turn-based game, but it makes itself a frantic, twitch-based mess when I have to sink my turn time into waiting for menus to pop up (EXTREMELY laggy when the map is taken).



The buttons are small enough AND have mouse-over tooltips so that I feel they don't need that extra level of "are-you-sure?" safety. As for customizing heroes, discarding changes costs you nothing, I also feel that this warning should be optional.



A minor complaint is that, when queueing resource gathering structures from the city menu, it makes me manually place it on the map. I understand that this is so that I have the option of using a district on a node rather than a separate building, but this is the ONLY case I would want to do that and it is otherwise a major time sink. I'd like the option to enable auto-placing it.



Other than that, having a blast with this game.



Thank you for your time.

I agree with both points. However the AI forum is probably not the place to post this, I am expecting this topic to be moved.



- Extractors should be placed automatically if double clicked. Only need for placement are districts and guard towers. If I really want to do extractors manually, there is the single click.

- There is a setting for putting those pop ups notification so they stay on the side and don't flash up (click the top right corner of those notifications to make them quiet next time). But there is an issue with their animation where they start small, start moving to the center and get bigger. As the game becomes lengthy, those animations become to laggy and often that popup will get stuck in the middle for a few second... half expanded but not totally. That lag is truly painful, and is the main reason I play on normal speed and not endless. At about turn 200+ the game becomes too laggy to be playable.



Getting an SSD and more video RAM would help, the game is pretty and has a lot of resources / textures / objects loaded at once. But some easy modifications like these could make life easier for average systems.

As far as I'm concerned this is a gameplay issue. I have a GTX 780 Ti (3GB of video memory), and a 120GB SSD. This seems to be an optimization problem.



By turn 100 of fast speed, I can barely move.
