you shouldn't have to log into the country to see it has been killed.
its a real pain in the ass when u start a kill run, but then relise 1/2 your countries are dead.
just seems like a waste of time to have to click on each one to see who is alive or not

I am going to assume this is an FFA reference.

I moved this here because it's something that should be decided by the ffa community. Is this really such a problem? We changed things so that users could login to their dead countries to see how they died.

What is the best way to treat dead countries on the mainffa page?

Have them highlighted in a different colour.

We should still be able to log into them once to see what happened. That is quite useful.

But highlight a dead country in Blue, for example.

Also, maybe allow the ability to check your messages one last time when you log into a dead country.

So highlighted in blue = Dead, but not yet logged into

Red = already logged into

colours in general would be good for the UI in alot of places

have fun with it, set countries in your alliance or on your account to another colour on the scores page, why not have a dec war target coloured on scores

if you want to put in ingame relations for pacts and war and farm/cripple and so on put them in colours as well

make a preference page for the account or for each server to disable those things if people want then everyones happy

from what i remember they show up green in the list if in protection so red if dead should be easy enough

go crazy, make it so if you click on a certain spot you can see the news of that country or read its messages, or just an indicator to mention if their is new news or new messages or new alliances for that country

include indicator of how many turns each country has, can do that on the main login page for other servers too

perhaps info on what each country has on the market, but a simpler way would be to make login bonuses related to the last time you took a turn rather than the last time you logged in, could have cpu cycle issues


that said i usually check my tag out before logging in, or login to all countries then play, most alliances should have ways for you to know which of your countries are dead but if its as low an impact change as a colour on the login page will reduce dependancy on third party tools

how about where it shows the networth of each country on the main login next to the country name it says DEAD instead of what the net was before it died.

that raises the question as to whether networth of dead countries is subtracted from clan totals immediately or after a certain period

it used to be possible to keep dead countries counting for TNW and so on by logging into them every day
