Playability
I wanted to start a thread for suggestions to improve playability and efficiency of performing functions.
World Map
1. When scouting Neutral oases and manors/villages/castles, troops count to show actual troop numbers, not total troop values.
2. Currently, when tapping coordinates search fields, alphabetical keyboard pops up. As only numbers are recognized in the coordinates fields, the numerical keyboard should pop up.
3. Double-tapping your own city or sub-city has the same effect as tapping the Enter button.
4. Double-tapping another player's property brings up their Lord info window.
5. Increase the size of the Favorites list in World Map. It needs to be able to hold at least 50 locations. Perhaps make a longer list available with gold or advancement award.
6. Favorites list should have better identifiers than "Home City". It should show the owner's name or better yet, let the labels be customizable like in old HK.
Chat
7. The voice input/speech recognition button crashes the app. Please remove until it works.
7a. Private Chat: Leaving private chat clears out the recipient (To:), requiring the player to select again the name from the list when returning to continue the conversation. This was an issue in old HK as well. It is especially troublesome if the other player is not already on my chat list/friends list. Then I must go and add the player to my list - very inefficient.
It would be much better to have the chat system, by default, have already selected the most recent post's author (most recent player who has sent a message). Meaning, if the last person I was chatting with was Player King1234, then when I return to the private chat window, I should just be able to start typing my chat and it will go to King1234. Another example, is if I receive a private chat from King1234 for the first time, then when I open my private chat window, I should be able to send my chat and it will go to King1234 without me first having to select him from a list.

8. Ability to save and store multiple troop assignment configurations. Right now, in order to change your troop/hero configuration, it is a 10-step process! (5 troops and 5 heroes) - takes too much time. Different hero/troop configurations are needed for different combat situations.
9. Sliders do not function very well when moving in the left direction. Needs improvement.
10. In all windows that make use of sliders (troops, transfers, market, etc), it's too difficult selecting the desired amount of troops or resources with the sliders when you have many troops/resources. Suggestions:
- Holding down the + starts rapid increase in number
- Continuing to hold down the + make increase even more rapid
- Holding down the + starts increasing in increments of 10
- Continuing to hold down the + starts increasing in increments of 100
- Holding down on the slider button itself brings up the numerical keyboard to input an exact number (like old HK)
11. A button for collecting all silver trades at once in the Trade tab of the Market. Or, when tapping any Get button, it automatically gets all of them.
12. Lord information window: Have four buttons instead of 3 and change the wording:
If player is not a friend yet: #1) Friend #2) Block #3) Mail #4) Chat
If player is already a friend: #1) Un-friend #2) Block #3) Mail #4) Chat
Thanks!!
