Sup peeps, simple idea...
Proposal:Create a "message island" function in game. This would allow you to quickly mass mail all players who have cities on a specific island, with minimum hassle.
Reason: Many times I have wanted to or needed to message every player on a specific island - this can sometimes be many, there are 20 odd city slots on some islands. In order to do this you currently have to type their names into a mass mail. Or create a distribution list. This is time consuming and annoying, cutting and pasting etc.
There are various applications. Perhaps you want to attack a city on the island and have friendlies there that could help. Perhaps a city on the island needs defensive support. Perhaps you want to kill off some of your own units. Perhaps you just want to say hi. etc etc.
Details: There are various ways this could be implemented. It could be an added function to the mail system in game in some way. Perhaps you could input the island code to a message, rather than player names, the game could then populate the distribution list with all players on that island.
Or it could be a separate feature on an island. There is already a pop up menu for the "information" button on islands, the "message island" feature could be added to that menu for instance. You click it and it brings up a mass mail with the distribution list populated with all the players on the island.
Visual Aids: Use your imagination
Balance/Abuse Prevention: None, its just an improvement to the messaging system.
I think this is a fairly simple improvement to the game that I am certain people would benefit from. Relatively speaking I doubt it would require much coding or time. Please rate the thread, and post a reply
