Regiment/Nation Display

Vextor · Posted: Sun Sep 26, 2004 4:50 pm Post subject: Regiment/Nation Display

Due to a strong desire by nation leaders to have this feature implemented, each member will now have their regiment type and nation displayed on each of their posts under their name and avatar.

This will facilitate the whole war system by cutting down on time wasted on inveatigating who has what (even within your nation).

You guys can't imagine how much easier choosing battleplans will be.

Thanks, SARS. This'll really help out all of us leaders.

Thanks to iscalio for finding a MOD that actualy does the job.

Well that just cut back on all the time wondering who belongs where and under what regiment. ;P For about two weeks I kept thinking the whole "Imperial Army Soldier," etc actually held something about regiment type, too. Haaa... Well, this'll make things easier.

Excellent, thank you. That'll come in handy I'm sure.

I guess I'll get used to it in time, but I always thought having such information not so easily accessible was good for the war system, since you would have to do a fair bit of research. Although, once you found out the necessary info, you could just input all the data into a spreadsheet and have it at your disposal for future reference. But never mind that, I'm sure this new addition will be beneficial for both offensive and defensive planning.

It'll also clear up any confusion as to which nation a member belongs to if you're not familiar with the titles associated with each nation.

I'm not sure why everyone seems to be so happy. I mean, yes it's easier to know which unit/nation a member is by looking at the post of that member. But if you click on the unit type or the nation, it's still showing the exactly same information as if you click Usergroups option above and choose which group you want to see that we already have since the beginning (meaning that clicking "Magicians" on Elc's post would show all archers and not just Queendom of Falena's magicians). Not too much difference at all IMO, it's just a shortcut than clicking Usergroup->group.

What would make things way easier to do is to be able to have a look at the nation group, then automatically showing the unit type and the amount of soldiers of the members (rather than the normal "email" or "location"). Now that would make things easier, probably even too easy.

it doesn't take that long. compared to how it was before, it takes very little time, it's a step in the right direction, and well, it's still up to everyone to count soldiers and the type of members and so on, which means it's up to each individual nation to compile their own data, on themselves, or their opponent. anything extra i think would make it too easy.

right now, you click your nation, then individually on members, and find out their type and soldiers, and that's fair enough - the number of members in each region still don't go over 100, so no need to stress yet about the break down of regiment. i think keeping the soldiers and regiment type on profile is "off putting" to people who are planning to scout you as an opponent, so, i don't think it should be on the member list page of a nation.

IMO it's a double edged sword.
It makes it easier to find out information about your own nation and other nations, but it also makes it easier for the opposition to find out about your own nation.

I liked it the old way, because I'm an insomniac with nothing better to do than scout opponents :) .

It doesn't really matter, since the information was there before. So, if we were determined (and most of us were, let me tell you), we would just scan through it all very slowly.

Like Lebenengel said, it's not like a big secret has been revealed, you could find out the info quite simply for a certain member quite simply. The only trouble being was if you needed to find the info for say and entire nation, then it becomes faily tedious.

it's a huge time saver; that way, you can quickly get the info you need for battle plans, as opposed to clicking on usergroups endlessly, then on profiles. that is a huge annoyance for those who don't like wasting time on double searches, or don't have a great amount of time to spare overall.

as for scouting, that can be done if necessary, but realistically, it doesn't give any real advantage, making the whole process pointless.
