New Upgrade Status Tab

Quick, check out my base and see how long it takes to find all my builders and tell me when they'll be free.

Not as simple as it sounds.

I started playing this game later than many and I've advanced this far because I've done a pretty good job of making sure my builders and my lab are busy at all times. As I've advanced to the higher levels, it has become more and more difficult to manage. It can be frustrating at the higher levels to figure out - When will my next builder be free? How much longer to the next one after that? Will I have enough resources to start my next upgrade when they're free? My suggestion is this:

I would like a new Upgrade Status Tab to go along with the current Army Overview, Barracks and Spell Factory tabs. With a large base, it can be very difficult to find all my builders and see how much time they have remaining on their current upgrades. I could move them off to the side so they're easy to see, but then I'd have a hole in my base that needs to be dealt with. Now that we have a terrific new information button, I'm suggesting that one additional tab be added showing what my builders are doing. I also added in my lab showing the status of my current research upgrade. This would provide, at a glance, information about when each of my builders will be available and when my lab will be available, allowing me to plan resources for my next upgrades. I included a mock up below:

Why start 2 threads about the same idea?

I started a new thread for two reasons. One, because I revised my suggestion. Two, because I don't believe people were reading it through after someone mistakenly claimed that this idea was already rejected. If you go to the Ideas, ruled out, subforum guidelines and look at what's listed under Graphical Interface Related, you'll see that "*Add a counter when all builders are busy" is no longer there. I can only asume that it was an old suggestion that got rejected to prevent cluttering up the main screen. Also, I don't see what would make anyone think that adding a counter is even remotely similar to what I'm suggesting. I would like to remove the first thread, but I don't see any way to do that. I added a comment to it, letting people know to check out this revised thread instead.

It is an excellent idea.

Thanks Katipo - nice to have the support of a Senior Member.

Looking for feedbak. Please leave comments.

it is there, what are you talking about

I actually like what you put together. If I click "info" on a builders hut- there is plenty of space to put the information you are suggesting.
