Cyp - I love you

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they've planned this changeset for Saint Valentine's day

Even though I don't play online, this is pretty cool.

thnx

That would help out alot. Thanks for coming up with that awesome idea

P.S. Maybe the tooltip below the heart can be extended to show the progress of the ally's research?

Did everyone skip over this? This is a great idea too! I've always hated asking my allies, "How long till Ripples (or whatever it is) are done?"

Great thinking, j0shdrunk0nwar and NoQ. I sure hope your ideas are implemented -- soon.

zoid: i guess they already are, and even better than we all expected, see above (:

Well, ok, since you want it soon, I'll travel back in time and make sure it's implemented in time for the master_20110320 releases.

Oops.
Good job, Cyp.

I hate to be the scrooge here but I don't like the colored hearts. The colors are hard to see because the hearts are small and I often find myself clicking on something that is already being researched.

mhmm, I don´t have any problems to see it on the screenshots but I have to admit that I have a great monitor.
Personally I love the change and I am looking forwards to 2.3.8 to see it in action.

btw: What happens if two allies are researching the same technology like BunkerBlaster brought up?

It's in master_20110320, but not in 2.3, there probably won't be much new stuff in 2.3.8 (if anything).

If two allies are researching the same thing, it shows two research hearts and the progress bar of the player that researched the most.

I've been wondering if only the players in a team who are double researching a topic should be able to see two hearts while everyone else in the team just sees one heart and the progress bar of the player who has researched the topic the most, this is to help reduce the clutter a bit at least for some players in the team.. What are your opinions guys?
