Timer of production when selecting more than 1 province

  • Yep, just like you've seen it in the title, when selecting 1 province you get a timer of how much it will take for the unit you choose to be completed, example:


    However when you select more than 1 province to produce all at once, the timer disappears, example:


    Now one could say that those 2 provinces have different, in this case, factory levels, buuut that's not the case, this are the 2 provinces I selected:


    For those of you who are curious, what happens if you select a third province with a different factory level? Well, you guessed it right, the timer doesn't appear either.


    Workarounds for this?


    Well, when the factory has the same level, just add the normal timer.

    When the factory has different levels, taking in count there are 4 levels that boost production speed, I'd show the lowest level(the one that takes more time than the rest) and add a note saying that higher level factories may produce the unit faster)

    Soldiers! don't give yourselves to brutes

    men who despise you, enslave you

    who regiment your lives, tell you what to do

    what to think and what to feel!

    Who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle,

    use you as cannon fodder.

    Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men

    machine men with machine minds and machine hearts!

  • Hey nemuritor98,
    Again thank you for sharing your feedback and ideas. It is highly appreciated!

    There are more factors to production times than just the level of the production building. Morale in the provinces are likely to be different as well, which will alter production times between those provinces as well.


    In the end it kind of comes down to a matter of consistency I suppose. Right now, when you select multiple provinces the production time will not be displayed. If that was different and production times would be displayed in those rare cases where all factors are exactly the same and production times are indeed equal, players would likely be confused why it is displayed sometimes and why it is not at other ocasions. Or they start wondering why is it not displayed? What is different? But don't get an indication displayed either.


    I fully agree that it would be great to have the production time displayed when selecting multiple provinces, but that needs a proper and consistent solution in terms of display space, usability. Until a feasible solution is found there, I think the current setup works best, although not perfect.

  • Forgot about the different times depending on the morale, you are right there.


    Maybe showing the minimum and maximum from the range of provinces selected?
