Why 56 ?

Post by Franciscus »

Something that has been bugging me since many weeks...[&:]

Why "56" as the starting value for germany in Reinf/Upgrade ? [:D]

Why not 50 ? 55 ? 60 ?

Because it's 50% of their production. That is the default.

More important to me than the odd (well technically even) number of 56 is how to change this number by anything other than a multiple of 10. Perhaps it is a bit OCD to want to be able to put a nice round number in there (or any other number) but at present I can only seem to add or subtract by 10.

When trading with other nations, I am allowed to send any amount of production and oil. (The only hotkey I have found is holding Control to get +5 instead of +1 per click.) Even this part of the UI is a bit awkward.

For upgrade/reinf box, reduce the figure to 0, then build back up again in nice round numbers

Of course that gives you round numbers, but it is still in multiples of 10. Sometimes I would like to have 15 or 25 (mostly for minor countries.)
