I think it would be nice to be able to see how long the other player has to make their moves, too. It would be nicer for the people who might want to play without sound, as well, and would let you know if the other player has successfully frozen the timer. It would be fairly easy to make the timer a different color, like grey, brown, green, or something else that it doesn't already change to when it's your turn for when the other player is making his move.

It obviously isn't necessary, but I hate it when people say that here because half of the game isn't "necessary" and these are all just nice possible features. Any thoughts? Is it a better idea than the polka dots?

It is a good idea.

But it was ignored back then too....

Sorry, I didn't see that in the previously suggested idea thread anywhere (though I'll admit that I double-checked after)...

Unknown to most forum users, the search button is quite a nifty tool that allows you to look up information that might have have already been suggested. :D


Though having a little timer at the bottom of the bar to count down the seconds would be nice.

first of all, nothings better than poka dot dragons, and tie-dyed Scouts.
And second, I agree with this suggestion. I think it would be very helpful/handy to have a second timer for the other player.

If it was suggested twice thats gotta mean somthing ;)

EDIT: and before somone *coughjefferycough* says "yeah, he didnt check the board", in responce to my "If it was suggested twice thats gotta mean somthing ;)"
I ment that its obviously an idea thats agreed by many, that it will be helpful.

Which is why I said it was a good idea.

But welcome to the reality of the fact that THERE IS NO GAME PROGRAMMER>

Suggestions about new stuff in game are useless, no matter how good or how many times they are suggested.

And, if something is suggested twice, it doesn;t make it a good idea. It just makes the second suggester clueless to the search function.

Wouldn't suggestions be better off being presented to seed himself. He is afterall the creater and the one who engineers the units..right? I think there should be a way to relay these things to him, but as lazy as he is, it may be pointless. I guess this section could be used to take up time or something.

How little you know speaker.....

Seed is not even interested in Legends server either. And the reason units are there first is that is where he tests the unit, so that it works fully before being brought here.

I admit I like legends more; namely because of the one time gold account charge. I would assume that it bring in more money. They should come out with a couple more grey units so they can balance the number of grey gold units.
