add new option to map

i would suggest to add new option when u enter the map - that u can choose which reports of your explorers to show based on how long ago u explored the square.

for example, u can set that all squares that u explored 3 days ago, won't show how much cells the square has on the map.

i think its best to have option to set everyone like he like, 3 days, 5 days, 7 days, 10 days,
for those who don't like this, they will be able to not set that option and the map will show all the squares that ever explored.

i think this will be more comfortable to see which kingdom or squares u didn't explored for period of time, only by looking that there not exist number of cell because u set for specific days.

good advantage for players that don't have premium to explore easier, and not to explore same domain or cell many times) like+

when you go to a square it tells you when last explored sometimes you need to remember to look around after all a city or camp may appear most in this game are rather methodical in the way they explore its more a case of routine than checking when last explored

yeah u need always to move your mouse over it to know where u explored and where not. but it may be much much easier to look on it when all that u explored for example for last 3 days - only these will show u number of cells if u set it for 3 days, and those who explored more then 3 days just look like regular square that u never explored and dont show u the number of cells. it much more comfortable i think. and i believe many players will use this option.

personally i doubt they would the number of available cells/possible city level in a particular square do not change if i discover it today with 22 cells and lvl 1 it will be like that in 6 days and even still in 6 months when u discover it

i mean only add option.
for now u have 2 options that exist in the game:
1. see the number of cell on squares and when u move mouse on it , it tells u how long ago u explored it.
2. to not show at all number of cells

so i want only to add additional options :

3. show cells only that has been explored 3 or less days ago
4. show cells only that has been explored 5 or less days ago
5. show cells only that has been explored 10 or less days ago

i dont want to change how the map look like, and u always can turn the option 1 , as u regular.
with 3-5 option it will be much better and comfortable to look where u explored WITHOUT moving your mouse again and again over cells

The more additions like this, the more work has to be done by the servers. Is the slight extra convenience worth the drain on server resources? It's not as if you'd be getting any information that you can't already get with a minimum of fuss (just moving your cursor over each square in turn).

u are right, its a little addition. and it may take some time to do it.
but it will be much easier to see which squares explored and which not, it would help mostly for those who don't use premium.
i think that the most thing that programmer need to think about when he develops his product is that it will be comfortable for user, if u make the best ever program but it hard to use the program, most of the users won't want it.

the game is very good, interesting , and have good idea suggestions and good updates, but in my opinion to make the game a little more comfortable will only add positive things to game.

firekitty i ask why do u want to know if u explored a square 3 days ago ?

once cities are set the only thing most are interested in is how many ruins are in the kingdom if there is 7 its not worth exploring unless you are flag hunting and then you may as well explore the same square over and over as its not about if there is a flag on the square but the "chance" that your explorer will find one

what was said about the server having to work harder is correct and the admins will only add a function if it makes the interface easier to use not more comfortable for a select few admins want you to buy subscription not premium so any real additions are normally for the benefit of subscription players not premium
