Fortification dropdowns (merged) [Done]

[Optimus Prime]

I say go with the order that lancehoch posted, it makes the most sense if the dropdowns do in fact have to change.

[owenshooter]

Then should it be {From} {#} {To}? So the sentence structure would be "From Florida, fortify 10 troops to Georgia" (for the USA map).

I can do that if people really find it better.

that would seem a bit more intuitive, and you have to keep the sentence or it would truly confuse not only new players, but old guys like myself...-0

It's a good idea - (I think it's already been suggested though)

Yes, I believe the language is similar to my suggestion
"(A) sends (#) troops to reinforce (B)"

[krycekal]

Just wanted to thank everyone (from the suggesters to the implementers) for the awesome change in reinforcements. This is an awesome site and all the improvements that are made are very much appreciated. It is nice to have a site that listens to it's people and does all they can to help the make the playing all the more pleasurable.

Thank you again from a very appreciative player!!!

ahhh, i hate that the # of fortifications is the last dropdown! for the first 2 games of mine that this was implemented in, i hit end fortification because i thought i was hitting end attack....i know this was my mistake....and it only happened twice....but fortifications were MUCH better when the number of armies was listed first.

You need to put the boxes back to normall...

[sailorseal]

Why is the amount box now on the right? So unnecessary! I have to retrain my hands, but for what purpose?!?

[T7]

I came here to find out why such a crazy change was made.

Looks like a good idea got turned into a bad implimentation. Surely the order hasn't been dictated because of analysis of our thought structure, but so that the quantity of troops doesn't change after being the first thing selected, then a territory with less troops on it being selected. "Um, huh? I mean... oh yeah! It was after analysing the way we think... yeah, that's right, yep."

I agree with all the people saying it's frustrating, and with all the ideas to improve it - like Quantity: x... or Move x troops from x to x (had to throw that in there)... or Reinforce from: x Troops: x Reinforce to: x

[wcaclimbing]

Since we're suggesting how to rearrange the boxes, I'll add my suggestion in.

Put it back in the order it used to be.

I always think "Fortify # From X to Y" when I'm fortifying. It makes the most sense to me.

Any way to just run a poll of premium members to gauge their preference? My problem is that the change is causing mistakes...and mistakes in forting are costly. Even if the new way is occasionally convenient...not sure its worth the cost.

Also...the change has rendered fortifying impossible in opera mini for me. Worked before, but the number dropdown doesn't work now.

So...front page poll?

IS shirley seeing anyone ?

[PatXCore]

i agree....let's get a poll going!

Why just premium? The other players have opinions too. Personally I hate having the number at the end.

[jsnr75]

Appears to be a dead topic anyway. Nothing against non-paying members, but people could flood votes with fake players. Premium is paying for it. But I'm assuming no response means "live with it."

[AndyDufresne]

I don't think a poll will be run, but we are reading the responses to the topic.
