An Alliances Column

I'm not sure why there isn't one already, actually.

In the Planet area of the Universe page, could another column be added for "Alliance"?

I know this should strictly go in Suggestions, but I get the impression that'd for next round, and I'm sure that this could be implemented relatively easily.

In the alliance column, would simply show up the planets alliance.

The Alliance would be able to decide whether the alliances name was public or not (so most would only reveal all their planet at the end).

It'd sure make it easier for everyone to see.

Plus it might make it interesting, as some might be cockier than others and tag up early, showing off all their top planets.

Is it hard to do? I don't know much (anything) about coding, but I wouldn't have thought it is, surely?

Re: An Alliances Column

sounds good to be honest, and would be another form of tagging up I guess (also if they could implement it for this round )

This is the best idea since some roderick thorp thought "What if I call him John McClane and he's physically indestructible?"

Re: An Alliances Column

Back in the day if someone was in the same galaxy and the same alliance as you it would display an astertick or something in the galaxy page. Or at least that's what I think was around then.

Re: An Alliances Column

i believe if alliance HC wish they can put an "A" by all alliances, however what tk is talking about is an alliance name on the uni page, switched on/off by HC, I cant see it being used until the end but would still be interesting never the less

Yes, they can, and when I suddenly had lots of A's everywhere I had no idea what it meant. So pm me for all Angels coords!

I like the idea, if it's not too hard. Might want to make it possible to display alliance nick as well?

Re: An Alliances Column

If there were an option, by default it'd have to be off - otherwise new alliances would accidently give away their planets on the universe page.

As all the other pages are currently 800x600 format, it'd be a bit strange to break that format for one page, and as such there's not enough room for extra columns as suggested.
What's been suggested in the past, and might be better, is on the last tick if the planet name is changed to the alliance nick, and the ruler name is changed to the alliance?

Re: An Alliances Column

I've always been in favour of that, as long as a record of planet/ruler names is kept saved as well.

Re: An Alliances Column

One problem with the idea is that I think the universe pages are generated at the start of every tick to avoid heavy load on the server. To check the alliance of the person viewing the page and all 100 planets on the page would make more load. I suspect that is the problem (coupled with it making it a minor pain in the arse to code).

From what I gathered, the initial request was that alliances were allowed to reveal their tag on their top 100 planets at any point during the game - this would be done quite simply by generating an extra column each tick, and shouldn't be too troublesome.

As for what it seems you're suggesting, the alliance checking issue on each planet, the check would actually just check each of the planets when the page is loaded (if alliance of planet = viewing planet's alliance, stick an A there)
etc. I don't think it'd cause a huge amount of extra load - it's already done in a similar method for planets in the same galaxy, iirc. (no one in 1:1 is ever in the top 100 after tick 50 or so, so I never notice).
The A/R on the universe screen actually on the todo list, btw

Re: An Alliances Column

Sorry to bump this, but would it be difficult to change the "Change" column in the Planets page to "Alliances" for the end of the round?

On the final tick noone cares what the change was - but we'll all care who's alliance is who.

Great idea, but rather Ruler name --> alliance nick / Planet name --> alliance name.
