Changes to the Barracks

I just wanted to post a couple ideas for changes to the barracks that would make life a bit easier:

1) Combine all of the barracks into one screen (like the camps). It should let you build all of your troops from one screen, and then automatically distribute troops among the available barracks to minimize the time. If I have 3 barracks that can make giants, and I make 12 giants, then have each barracks make 4. I understand this can be a bit more complicated when making higher level troops that all barracks cannot make, but it would make everything so much better:
-Now you can see all of the troops you're making from one location, and can make sure you aren't accidentally overloading your army with Giants or wall breakers
-Total time for the current army being built, in other words just show the highest individual barracks time to completion (saving you from needing to look at every one yourself)

2) Show the total cost for the currently building army. I would love to know how much everything costs without doing a bunch of mental math. Also, total cost would make a lot more sense with all of the barracks combined to one screen!

3) Show how many troops are already in the camps while building! On average I bring 6-8 wall breakers, but sometimes I don't use any of them. It would be nice to know how many are already built, so I don't end up accidentally making 8 more and finding out that I now have 16 wall breakers in my camps.

These are a few of the suggestions that I had, and didn't see in the sticky. Let me know what you think!

Edit: here is a picture to better show what I mean-

Some very good idea which I also would like to see especially the first 2. Your third idea I am not keen on as I think this would mean screen would be over crowded with too much information

Really I was considering something like putting it at the bottom of the icons.

Currently, when you build something, it says x1 at the top right, why not at the bottom right in a slightly smaller font put the current number built (maybe if none are built just put a "-", or don't write anything). I feel like knowing how many already exist would greatly benefit building new troops, but maybe that's just me!

This idea has been ruled out by supercell.

I don't think this is necessary. You could use one of the calculators online.

3) Show how many troops are already in the camps while building! On average I bring 6-8 wall breakers, but sometimes I don't use any of them. It would be nice to know how many are already built, so I don't end up accidentally making 8 more and finding out that I now have 16 wall breakers in my camps.I don't really know what you meant, but in the barracks there is small gray text that says troop capacity after training xxx/xxx.

My replies in bold.

There is absolutely nothing in the ruled out section about combining all of the barracks into a single screen. If you're referring to Total time, this is not already ruled out. Showing the total training time left above barracks is, but I'm talking about showing the total time in the training screen, over the barracks looking at the map won't change.

As for your second point, why would I ever want to leave the game to do something that can be shown easily enough right there?

The last point, having the gray indicator for total troops is awesome, but what I'm talking about is showing the number of a specific troop. If I've got 5 wallbreakers made and 200 capacity, just knowing 10/200 troops means nothing, I have no idea what that 10 consists of.

How would you implement the last idea (ie where would you see what troops you have?)

Also, from the list of ruled out ideas:

Troop/Barracks Related:
*Customize troop builds = to order, permanent productions, saved queues, etc.
*Queue troop donation notices when offline – display when back online or new interface to see info after
*Show total training time left above barracks
*Show total elixir costs of troops sitting in army camps
*5x or 10x button in troop training screens for faster queuing
*Ability to rearrange barracks queued troops (ex: click/hold slide troop icon first in queue to the middle)
*Modify healers to include healing air troops
*Troop carrier (Trojan horse-like) it moves on its own until damaged, then troops pop out
*Requests for all troop types to have a related hero
*Prepackaged troop clusters = similar to clan castle deployment, but you can load like 50 troop count in 4 different clusters to deploy on offense all at once.
*Have clan war troop donations count towards donation statistics

The total training time is different than what's ruled out (see my previous response), however the elixir count seems to be ruled out...

As for showing currently created troops, if you already have 5 built, showing something like one of these would be ideal:

Attachment 54630 or Attachment 54632

Updated the original post with a picture to better explain the change.

I think that since there are new tiers of walls coming out soon I was thinking of a idea that might be helpful. What if they made a wall that you bought with dark elixer? I thought it would be challenging to do that but that's just me. Let me know what you guys think. I haven't thought of a design yet but it should be dark whatever it is considering dark elixer...

llllllllllllllllll, start your own thread with new ideas, don't put them here if they have nothing to do with the current topic
