[Polish] Trade and Diplomacy Screens

from Elemental Forums

As I try to balance my offer with another faction's items, the trade window overlays the other faction's trade value total.  It can be made out by squinting, but it is pretty hard to see.

 

Also, why are the diplomatic options separate from the raw materials/research trading window?  If I desperately needed another faction to declare war or settle for peace, I think i would be using all of my resources to ensure the survival of my people.

 

Keep up the good work, thanks!

I noticed both these issues as well.  With regard to the trade window, it seems to be at a different height each time, perhaps based on where the cursor was, and it sometimes overlaps the trade value total, and sometimes not.  This makes it so you have to rely on the text as to whether or not they will accept the deal.

Yep, Steve, I just noticed that when I went to take a screenshot:

 

 

The resources don't cover it, but the techs do.

I'd also like the option to remove items from the trade window. For example, sometimes I'll want 30 Magic Tech from the opponent. So I'll start putting various things, like gold or resources or other tech. And then I'll realize that I can't afford/am not willing to trade at the rates the opp is asking for. But maybe I'll settle for 15 Magic Tech. Except right now, I don't have the option to remove the 30 Magic Tech and replace it with 15 Magic Tech. So I have to leave the trade window and come back again.

That's not in Polish.

 oops, sorry! 

 

Jak próbuję zrównoważyć moją ofertę z innej frakcji w pozycji, okno handlu nakłada drugiej frakcji całkowitej wartości handlu. To może być sporządzona przez mrugający, ale to jest bardzo trudne do zobaczenia.

 

Ponadto, dlaczego są opcje dyplomatyczne oddzielne surowców / okno handlu badawczej? Jeśli desperacko potrzebował innej frakcji wypowiedzieć wojnę lub rozliczenia dla pokoju, myślę, że będzie używać wszystkich moich zasobów, aby zapewnić przetrwanie z moich ludzi.

 

Bądź dobrej pracy, dzięki!

 

O:)

How did Google Translate do on that, native Polish speakers?

Yep, I'd also like to get it to where I can give units away ala GalCiv2.  Or swap magic items.  When a faction comes and asks me for help, it would be great if my unit of archers could be sent to their capital (automatically if it makes pathfinding easier for the AI.)

Very funny and does not make any sense at all :)

Darn it!  I used Google translate last week for Dutch to English on a burning transit bus story and it was at least understandable....

 

Thanks for playing  :D :beer:

I thought you could remove items from the trade vvindovv by clicking on the them? I'd like the ability to edit and delete trade vvindovv items...

I like the idea of trading resources on treaties. Seems like a reasonable idea.

I definitely think trading in cities and units and outposts is a good idea. Allovvs a player to purchase resource nodes, purchase tactical advantages, profit from selling tactically indefensible cities. Perhaps this should be limited to factions of the same ideology, or factions vvith good diplomatic standings?

I also believe diplomatically trading maps of explored areas is good. I've suggested this...

Should be able to trade maps vvith other factions (removing fog of war). This can include treaties for three levels of information: land explored by the faction outside their ovvn area of influence, all land explored by the faction including their ovvn lands, and all explored land with information on cities and units (same realtime visibility as if you owned them). I'd make the first level relatively easy, second level require a non-aggression pact and good relationship, third level require an alliance and good relationship.

Great ideas... and can a sov of similar alignment give you the last bits of his shattered nation if a war turns against him?  I always loved getting that event in GC2...
