Some suggestions for TTA

[AntonJ]

First of all, love the site, great work great look and lots of fun to play!

I have played some games of Through The Ages (mostly turn-based). Overall I think the interface is really good, but for me it is lacking a few small additions to make it great. These suggestions are mostly for turn-based not sure how they would translate into real+time:

- Let me see what civil cards other players have picked up. Playing turn-based you can easily write these down anyway, and (imho) I don't think the skill of the game should be memorizing cards anyway.
- Let me see which civil cards have fallen off the board.
- Give me a list of which events I have personally seeded, and also who has of the other players has seeded events (and which age of event they seeded).
- Either extend the game log to be complete (covering the whole game) or let me find a complete game-log somewhere else.
- If I undo a turn let me undo all the way back to my political phase (assuming of course that I did not use my political action for anything),

Anyway, no idea if these are already things that have been suggested or if I am even posting this in the correct forum (apologies if not), and again thanks for a great site!

I agree with all of these.

It is really annoying that you need to write everything down when the game should just track things for you. I always have a notepad with me when I play.

It is especially silly since you can always just go back through the entire game log (at least for civil cards). So it already gives you a way to look things up but it just forces you to waste a bunch of time to do it.

Also, I really think there should be a real time option that lets you Undo. I would play a lot more real time if one misclick didn't screw everything up. Maybe an option with a slightly longer thinking time? Also, a big time saver would be if you could pass on territories even when it is not your turn. If a territory shows up and I know I don't want to bid at all or if I don't want to outbid anyone, it would be nice if I could just pass, instead of having to go back and pass when it is my turn.
