I've a suggestion and a question: `- when the shipbuilder finishes building a ship a message is sent (like when a warehouse has been build), so I can stop building more ships. - would it be possible to conquer warehouses the same way you can conquer military building while also keeping the common wares (wood, ores, fish, meat, etc)?` Great game!

I've a suggestion and a question: `- when the shipbuilder finishes building a ship a message is sent (like when a warehouse has been build), so I can stop building more ships.` Good suggestion, especially in case there will be also a feature like "mute messages of some kind" `- would it be possible to conquer warehouses the same way you can conquer military building while also keeping the common wares (wood, ores, fish, meat, etc)?` That would not work that well, because the defender could just destroy his warehouse in time. So I would be against this. Wanted to save the world, then I got widetracked Top Quote

Especially it would give players another good reason to prefer attack over defend. And as WorldSavior correctly says defenders would just dismantle the site under attack so the benefit would be negligible if the defending player pays attention, and it just puts strain on people to keep an eye on their warehouses.

Then I wait to forget again and so on haha. As for the warehouses, it's a pity specially against the AI. For some reason it stock piles a lot of resources and I found destroying the warehouse a waste! Thanks! Top Quote
