Automatic Project Queue

Postby Crosshair » Sun Jun 08, 2008 8:20 pm

Well, the best example i can think of is in Age of Empires 2, the Conquerors... You can queue farm building projects so that you don't have to keep going back to the mill and reseed all the farms. it gives you time to concentrate on other things. I think this'd be a good idea for people with a long list of projects to do... just an extra button, click "add to queue" and at the bottom of the projects list is your queue. When one is done, the character automatically moves on to the next project, and so on.

I like it, and don't like it at the same time.

It could br usefull, when you have short projects and won't be online for quite a time, but from other side it makes a "bot" from your char.

Cantr has too many sleepers. Sleepers can already work on 80-day projects and projects with 1,000 repeats. Active players should have an advantage. Sometimes, with projects that last one or two hours, a queue would be nice. But for most projects, a queue would just be an excuse not to log in for weeks at a time. Logging in once a day is not hard.

I think it should be modifies to having ques up to one day Ex. 2 hours cooking meat 4 hours getting wood and than 2 hours getting hematite. If you try to add another hour of work it wont let you. that way it gets rid of pesky hour long projects while at the same time not taking much away from active players.

Still, it's not such a bad idea if the total time of projects in queue wouldn't surpass, let's say, three days or even a week.
