I've been a player of many strategy games, and I think the one thing this game lacks is tooltips. I'm not yet used to recognizing buildings and ships simply by their pictures. Having tooltips would make things much nicer.

I've brought this up many many times with Shadowing. I think he's going to get to it, just more important things on his 'to-do' list atm.

The game guide is fully inbedded into the game now. You can click on the building picture and it auto takes you to that building in the guide. 95 percent of the game is clickable now. That was all added like a month ago.

What ever you can do or dream you can always begin it because boldness has genius, power and magic in it

I see that, and think it's good that it's there, but I find it annoying that I've got to go to the guide each time. A simple tool-tip with the name of the item/building would be much more helpful.

I guess i dont&nbsp; understand what you mean by tool tip.<br /><br />Do you mean like hover your mouse over the picture and it pops up saying what the building does? <br />I see what you mean on the clicking to the guide cause it takes the building screen away so you have to click on build again to get back to the building screen.<br /><br /><br />I definitely wont put anything on the building window that is always visable though. that just be crowded.<br />I added the names of the buildings several months back like Semper requested.

See:<br />
<br /><br />I&#039;m hovering over the blue image, which is a legion/clan logo. It isn&#039;t listed in the list of players because some names can be long and it&#039;d just get crowded. Instead, the developer&#039;s added in a tooltip so you can hover over the logo, and know the name of the legion.<br /><br />Same would be nice for buildings. When you first start, it&#039;ll be hard to know the building and what it does just by the picture.
