Wall upgrades

Ok, so I like the idea of being able to upgrade multiple walls at once. It's a time saver. I also like the whole "select row," "upgrade the whole row" idea. It works ok, but you end up with the corners upgraded beyond the point of a section of walls, since there are two rows that connect to each corner. On top of that, you don't always have enough money to upgrade long walls all at once. What if we also had the ability to select exactly how far we wanted the "select row" option to go? I was thinking that maybe we could select the exact amount of walls that we need by holding one finger on one wall, and placing another finger a little further down the same section of wall. It would automatically select the section in between and be upgradeable, as well as moveable. I believe this would help when you're trying to move walls around on your base, too.

I don't want to take away what is in place now. This would just be an addition. Any suggestions/comments on this?

Also, so that you are able to correct, if you accidentally select too many or not enough walls, your hold the first finger down on a wall, and you should be able to place the second finger multiple times until it is right, and then when you let go with both fingers, that is when the pop ups for upgrades and whatever else should come up.

I don't see any problem! Looks like a good original idea!

Actually not a bad idea, id fully support if someone makes a picture of how it would look and work but I still like it.
Ill put it in the BBSOA Potential Idea section
Good job overall well done.

Ikr its pretty good and I swear your blue...YOU LIKE THIS IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT FROM ME

Unfortunately, the only editing software I have is paint, and I'm pretty bad at making and editing pictures in it. They would look pretty unprofessional, and would probably not end up getting my idea across any better.

I would also like to add that it is SUPER annoying when editing your village and my finger seems to just grab a wall randomly and move it, even though I did not select it.
Donno if this is a problem you can fix, but it would be awesome if you did.

Ultimately that's an issue with how touch screens work, especially when it's a small touch screen (phone) and a big finger.

I have this same exact problem all the time. I'm trying to scroll the screen, but it wants to move whatever building I have selected. So I touch far from the building in question, and when I try to move the screen, I end up moving a piece of wall instead.

I also have the exact opposite problem all them time. I try to move a piece of wall, or a building, and it refuses. The wall or building is selected, but all I seem to be able to do is pan the village around. It might take me 5 or 10 tries to move that piece of wall. Sometimes I get so frustrated, I have to go to village layout mode and remove the piece of wall so I can place it where I want it.

The problems seem self-contradictory, and yet I have both problems. So it's not a matter of it being tuned too much in favor of moving items or too much in favor of panning the village. Ultimately the only thing I can think of to blame at this point is the touch screen itself. That's beyond Supercell's control.

So if there's anything Supercell can do to make this better, then great. But it's a big "if", and I doubt they can do much. Sorry to say, but I think you'll have to live with it.

TL;DR: I totally agree, great suggestion, but it's most likely a touchscreen issue.

Try GIMP you can do some decent edited screenshots with it ;)

Getting this idea up there since I did want to see it develop
Maybe some pics like asked before?

Ok, Sorry about that guys. I've been busy with prepping for mid terms and writing an essay. I haven't had a whole lot of time for anything other than work, homework, and sleep. I threw a picture together. I tried to waste as little time as possible, so sorry if it's not the greatest picture ever. I also tried to describe everything with one picture. Hopefully it's not confusing.

Ok, say you want to upgrade the walls from the blue wall to the green wall. Currently, your options are: select each wall individually and upgrade them that way, or select and upgrade the whole row. The main problems with these are: The individual method can be time consuming if you need to upgrade walls quickly. If you use the row selection method, you can only upgrade one section of wall that is connected to a specific corner, because otherwise the corners would be leveled twice as fast as the rest of the walls because of all of the conjoining sections (or you would have to do some janky movement of walls out in open areas and do it that way). If my idea is put into place, you will be able to select whatever walls you want, however many you want, as long as they are on the same row.

The idea is that you just press and hold one finger on one of the walls. For this instance, we'll say you're holding down on the blue wall. With another finger, you would tap the green one. It would select just that section of wall, and you could upgrade just those 4 walls, rather than the entire section of walls that is currently selected in the image. What I imagined is that if you made a mistake and accidentally tapped the red wall, instead of the green wall, you could still just click the green wall, and it would remove the red wall from the selection. Once you let go with both fingers, that is when I imagined that the options for upgrade and moving would pop up. Does this help a little bit? If not, let me know, and I'll try again.

Again, sorry it took me a while to get back to you guys on this, and sorry for the poor picture quality. I'm not the greatest editor.

**EDIT**

P.S. These walls, when selected like this should have the same options as any other wall sections, meaning they should be mobile, turnable, etc.
