Build Summary

Post by solops »

I wish I had a screen which showed builds completed that turn. The "Under construction" screen is really helpful.

Select the 'MNG' tab & then to the left, select any town/city.

Every turn i have to go through every city to manage construction. I want a summary, like the construction summary, for what was built. Going through city by city to see what was built is too time consuming (24 cities this game so far, many more to go). The construction summary is a great time-saving coordination tool. Let's have a "built" summary as well. That will really streamline management. Combining construction and 'built that turn' would be even better.

To clarify, I am desiring a summary of the buildings finished at the end of the previous turn, NOT a summary of all of the buildings built in a particular city over time.

I thought we have this kind of information under Construction Overview report, but we don't. Perhaps, the easiest way to implement this feature would be to add an entry for every building built last turn to this report. Currently it just shows buildings in construction, but no recently finished buildings.

OK, the solution to my request is, in the Construction Overview screen, to leave completed facilities in the "Zone" column the turn they are completed and add "Completed" to the "Last Progress" column....and then disappear the completed facilities from the report the next turn.

I'd also like to see this. I think a simple change to the construction report would suffice.

This latest patch (w2) seems to have undone the WONDERFUL improved Construction Report detailing completed structures.

BTW, this feature turned out to be a HUGE time-saver for me. It really streamlines the turn as empires get larger.
