What if one would not have to press space, c, s and w at the beginning of every match, wouldn't that be fun? The preference could be saved. Maybe by default c, s and space should be activated if it's not saved that they are deactivated, to make the game easier for beginners.

And even better (other people might have suggested that already) : The location and settings of the minimap could also be saved and loaded automatically at the beginning of each match / replay. And of course also other important windows: Store, b, general statistics, production statistics, messages...

I think a beginner get overwhelmed if too many information is shown straight away. Having an option is option though face-smile.png

Maybe soldiers should be able to attack plant-fields, which would be immediately destroyed then?

Reasons:

  • plant-fields can block valuable building ground quite long, especially Frisian barley
  • soldiers can also take down headquarters and ports immediately
  • it wouldn't be very big change of the game

I am afraid it might be a big change of the code though. just tried to assign a "conques = 0" line to make it attackable but this doesn't work for immovables.
although I am not against some pillaging soldiers this would give the attacker probabaly even more power as he currently have

Currently only buildings can be attackable so this would require some refactoring. Our soldier/battle code is a bit fragile so this change would be likely to introduce new bugs. All for very little gain, and this feature would only benefit attackers. -1 from me

Well okay, maybe it's better to reduce the lifetime of the fields.

Barley sticks around for about 50 minutes. I agree it's a bit excessive.

It's far too long, a bug

Since the time is so long perhaps introduce some randomness?

"animate=idle duration:1m",
"transform=barleyfield_harvested chance:5%",

(where duration and chance would need reasonable tweaking, so that the farmer can collect the fields before they vanish, while still reducing the average lifetime)
