Implemented: New Unit Icons

[DeletedUser561]

Oh my freaking word. PLEASE remove those new unit icons. Eyes bleeding, and recruit pages now take an extraordinarily large amount of screen space.

I agree. players should have the ability to turn them on and off (or atleast premium account players should be able to)!

I personally don't like the idea of a ton of pictures all over my screen, these sorts of changes are the things that will have players quitting because they'll get caught easily at work playing.. I realize it's not a good thing to condone playing games at work, so make up another reason to keep this a text based game ~

I've got enough reason (I think). First, my page load times aren't always the best, and larger images just makes it worse. Second, I have a 3GB bandwidth cap per month. I know - the browser will cache them sooner or later, but it's still an issue. I don't even know if the report pages can be cached, as they seem to be background images or some other construct. And of course the fact that the images take up way too much screen space. I now have to scroll down on the recruit screen. There's also the fact that they're so ugly that words can hardly describe (no offense to whoever created them) - but the old icons are much nicer.

If there is an ability to toggle between old/new icons, it would be much better to have the old icons on by default. The last thing we'd want is for non-premium users to be stuck with the huge images.

i also think they are too big..at least for the recruit page, where you loose the overview over all the page becuse of that
cant you make the new pictures smaller?
if i remember right, in mds there were the same pictures but smaller, maybe like that?

or, just turn them off in recruit screen, in stable and barrack and so i think its not that big problem, because there you still see the whole page, as these pages arent soo long..

but in the recruit screen, when before you could see the whole screen and now only like a third, thats really not nice, you need the overview there over all unit types and how much cou could build etc

Hmm, how about a "Classic" and a "Fancy" graphics Settings option?

Classic:
- Classical Village Overview
- Old Unit Icons
- No report pictures

Fancy:
- Graphical Village Overview
- New Unit Icons
- Report Pictures
- (Night Graphics?)

for the rest, yeah would be an idea

I can live with this, I've switched to classical on every account I've ever sat ~
I think I don't get call backs sometimes!

The new icons look nice.

But I never used the graphical village overview and I prefer everything as a plain text based version.

 

[DeletedUser]

another vote for make it so you can turn it on and off.

All of these little graphics add ons don't add functionality to the game. If people want them they can check a box for each group of graphic enhancements til they get what they want.

Implemented, use the checkbox under Settings (indicated in the attachment) to deactivate the new Unit Graphics, Night and Report Pictures.

Very nice, thanks - I've been blocking the images manually up 'til this point.

('popup_unit.php?unit=spear', 520, 520)"><img src="./Dragon.hells village (497 465) - Tribal Wars - World 1_files/unit_spear_60.png" alt=""width="35" height="35"> Spear fighter </a></td>

why not add that to the code so the images are not to big

 

[DeletedUser73]

If they get made smaller, I'd guess that you wouldn't be able to see much of them anymore.
