Not sure if this has been posted before, but instead of entering in the tech points to research, you enter in the amount of turns you want use per tech. You would be able enter fractions of a turn, say 1.25 of one tech and .75 of another. Any fractions of a tech point generated with fractoins of a turn would be truncated to integer status and aggregate turns per submission used would ALWAYS be rounded up to the next up. So if the total amountof turns entered in is 9.10, 10 turns would be used.

Would have the benefit of slightly speeding the game up mainly when trying to tech increments not of 1 or 10.

suggested before. nice idea still.

Just tired of having a calculator out and multiplying 1783 * 5.

would be nice to have more buttons you can press to increase it by 1 turn

for building and exploring as well

becomes particularly relevent for mobile ui's

i used to use a greasemonkey addon like that, but theres been changes that made it not work, and positively some changes moving the ui more in that direction as well

yea, i was thinking about this for mobile for sure

the only problem with displaying it in turns is then you need to display fractions

such as 1/11th if you want to tech 1 turn with a bit of everything

displaying in points but allowing you to click to add 1 turn seems simpler to me

though there would be some advantage to when you tech a few, go back tech a few again but you had an earthquake so you waste a turn because you didnt notice it

but with easier entering you may not use the back option as much

Would it be too much of a issue to parse a fraction as in 1/11 instead of decimals? Maybe that is important to some players, but how often peeps spend just a couple of turns at a time spreading out all your research?

I just imagine myself entering in 4 turns for tech A, 8 turns for tech B, 10 turns for tech C, and 15 turns for tech D. As it stands now, to get the #'s spot on, it takes an external calcualotr. Instead of 5496, 10992, 13740, and 20610.

Buildings kind of fall into this suggestion, but the math is not nearly as complicated for the most part.

Just tech your tech 1 turn at a time noob :p

there used to be a javascript extension that added + and - next to every point. Click +, and it auto incremented and populated the correct tech amount to be teched. Click -, and it subtracted

*smacks xninja*

sure but 1 tech needs 5+ turns and other tech 10+ turns and other needs 1 turn etc.

you have 10 turns, you can tech 4839 tech per turn

you can tech 48390 tech

it does not take a rocket scientist

and if you want to break networth records, then this is the math you will need to do.

if you don't want to do it, go run a farmer

I try to use 10 turn chunks as much as possible, but sometimes 5, 7, or 8 turns, or even 20+ turns are called for. This isn't express where you have 200 turns to play with each day, instead I speak from a FFAer perspective where teching with 16 countries every day takes time, and anytime you can shorten the amount of time needed to do routine things in the game, I am from it.

TTT this needs to be done ASAP!
