Villager roles, better camps

Everyone knows how the women clap, the troops run around the camps, the clan castles fire glows in the doorway, the builders sleep when they are not busy. Its all part of the game. But have you ever thought it was a little bland or something was missing?

What if the camps were actually organized? They troops run around in circles, no point, just a big mess. Maybe they could have seats, logs to sit on around the fire, roast some ham or sausages. They could have little speech bubbles above their heads, talking about battle, tales or whatever troops talk about in a camp before war. It would look more authentic and less like lab rats.

You know those little clapping women who jump around your walls? They don't do a lot besides that. They could go around doing some chores, sweeping the town hall, checking the Xbow string, cleaning the cannons, bring arrows to the archer towers, bringing the builders a drink, tending the camp fire. Another thing they could do is honor the dead with flowers. When you open your game after being attacked, your villager women will visit all the graves stones. They may have been the ones to come and hurt you but it's just out of respect. They could have naps in the town hall, and gather together to chat, as anyone would do, more of a village feeling.

I would love feed back and other ideas to add. I haven't heard of this idea before. Small things make the big difference.

Really like this idea. Small things do make a big difference. It would add more depth to the game just looks wise. Would love to see this implemented

+1

Would be cool. Maybe military drills aswell, and I would love to see all the defences manned

This would use more of my battery life.

This sounds really nice, I like the organized camp part, I'm tired of seeing my troops looking like ants. They could make the base look a whole lot better. I also like the ideas of the villager lady, other than doing her clap dance, this makes here have a little more things to do in the game.

Great idea!

great idea but lag

I like this idea!

Thanks for the feedback. I think It will take some programming, but hard to say wether it'll lag or not, I guess it's just the fine details that make it difficult to process all at once

It could run totally client side, as server doesn't need to keep track of where the workers are at any given time, hence it shouldn't create lag. If the tablet/phone isn't strong enough to cope with all the animations, that's another matter completely. Might be handy with an animations on/off button, if you're low on battery or have a weak cpu.

Love the idea.
