Replace manpower generation icon from production screen with population drag and drop.

I'm surprised there is not more votes too, I think this is related to me not bumping my ideas (they should live their lives until someone have something to say) :)

I'm not sure about the governement requirement.

I was thinking that's a little authoritarian so it's fitting the dictatorship theme very well.

Explanations for this are I'd like the Dictatorship having an unique feature. And I would like some unique features to the others forms of governement.

To me, there is not enough incitement to switch from one form of governmenent to another specific one (beside full democracy, or full dictatorship).

There should be "if you're a federation, you can (say) raise tax, if you're a democracy you can (say) revote in mid mandate, etc. This one would be the unique feature of dictatorship.

But it's not carved in stone as I would like the drag and drop feature before the unique stuff.

I see same problems than you in motivations to switch government, but for this feature I'm not sure if has to be linked to one government type, as you'll be able to convert pop to manpower in the actual way with non-dictatorship govs.

Another thing is I would understand that having some governments or some political parties in senate, may benefit/penalize you if you abuse of this "enrolling" mechanics.

But still feels so good feature I want to be able to do it in all my campaigns.

This is a very nice idea, however, new players may not be aware of that option, so there should be a small note like this when you Hover above a pop: Drag this population to your building list to conscript them for 300 manpower.

I am a new player and had no idea about this!

Agree with this.

As I like your idea a lot, if implemented they should put a tooltip somewhere to help new players.

Like I said, highlighting the place where the people can go would suffice imho.

Like what they did for the tutorial ?

Hi Etheon,

Is it possible to know which one is the problem: game design, in-game features or a technical problem ?
I still think this solves problems & side effects raised by an authoritarian regime, aka starting game lower to end game very very low approval because of mixed populations (aka #CraversProblems).

I will be in B2G tomorow if you wish to talk about this.

To support core idea, I think we should be able to choose who enlist to manpower and queue this.

If Kweel_Nakashyn proposition is not feasible, at least, can you give us some other way to choose who will be recrurited?

To be honest I can't see why this goes against game design principles or lore, so the problem should be of feasibility or contradiction with other fetures.

When I saw it, I thought it was a technical or conflicting issue. IMO the underlying idea of choosing who will be enrolled should be introduced in game, and also is not conflicting, so curious about what they saw

Hello,

The type of suggested interaction doesn’t fit with the rest of the game: we never drag & drop an element to the construction queue and it has both user experience and technical reasons.  However, we agree on the problem you’re rising. Here is how we want to answer them: 

—We are going to work on better birth / consumption control for the Update 3 (we are thinking of using Luxury in order to have more dynamic sinks).

—The present icon of Exotic Ration is temporary, it will have a proper illustration for the Update 2 :) 

Cheers,

Thanks for explanation. Happy to see you are aware of this problem and looking for a soluction.

think saw same probles as Kweel_Nakashyn
