Add an Army Build Window! Take the annoying hassle out of building armies at barracks

Please, please change the interface in the barracks to make rebuilding armies less of a chore.

Like most people I'm sure, I have a fixed army set up that I use. I have 4 barracks, all different levels, so different max training queues in each, and different troops available.

At the moment, I queue up a load of troops, in each barrack one by one. But then I have to jump to a camp to see what is left from last raid. Then back to barracks. Then, because my small barrack has only 35 slots, I have to come back after ten minutes and refill its queue with more troops. But that means going to other barracks and reducing the troops in that queue, then going to camp to check how many have been made so far..... ARRRRGGGHHH!

What I want to do when I need to build an army is open *one* window, which shows what troops I already have. It will also have a button for each troop type, just like current barracks. When i click, it builds them in whatever barracks have space and are capable of that unit. Its an army window, not a barracks one.

Why not make life a little easier for your customers?

Edit: Yes, if I upgraded all my bases to same (top) level this would be slightly less of an issue, but it would still be more hassle than it needed to be, that would cost me millions I don't have, and take weeks. And this is a game, that is supposed to be fun - grinding for days just to reduce the problem of a bad UI doesnt really make sense does it?

not sure about this one,it would be quite handy sometimes, but i think that supercell should first work on some more gameplay changes instead of minor improvements like these.


like the idea though

Upgrade your barracks.

Subtract what troops are left from total army capacity.*
Divide by four.
Queue troops.
*Repeat for every different troop left in army camp.
Problem solved.

Holy s*** you're a genius mate! Rather than having a good UI in the game, I can just spend 2.7m elixir, plus the hours to build, on upgrading all my barracks to the same level. And then still have to faff around with switching between windows, which was my complaint in the first place.

Wow, don't know why I didn't think of that.

I'm with the OP on this one. Even without the smart-building button, just adding a current camp composition listing would be a huge improvement.

As in what pops up when you click on a barracks. Army management only needs one window if its designed well. It shouldn't need jumping between each individual barracks and one of the army camps. Put the info and controls in one place.

Ya i like it

I really like the idea. it is a major pain to come back from a raid when you have pre-queued troops and trying to get the ♥♥♥♥ all back in order.

In the window it would do its own algorithm and divide the troops evening across all four or three or two barracks for shortest time. cannot be that hard up an update honestly speaking and this is part of game play, this is the most basic level of game play IMO.

I support every thread trying to give use improved ordering system. When we asked for it on Samus forum we had one in a few weeks.
