Normally how it works is that it adds the trade carts to the gold miners and displays the sum .. while not adding the trade carts to the total number of villagers
It would be great if there is a way to get an idea how many trade carts we have, as in many situations players delete gold villagers when the map runs out of gold in favor of trade. But assessing how many trade carts you already have at any given moment isn’t displayed
Also would be great to make similar adjustments for fishing ships
The total number of villagers should include trade carts and fishing ships too as this figure is normally perceived as how much eco you have vs your army. In many situations a player has to do some quick match to notice a larger amount of eco than required because of fishing and trade
Display the total number of economic units : villagers, trade units, fishing boats.
When hovering the mouse over the resource or the total, display the details of each units for it : how many villagers, how many trade carts, trade ships… and for food, split villagers between foragers hunters farmers fishers… to know all the data
There is enough room for the data to be displayed .. hovering would be less helpful as most players are occupied micro-ing and doing alot of other stuff. If the numbers are just there it would be great .. and there is enough room for everything
I don’t think there is enough room for everything, as I play with pop cap of 400 and sometimes have hundreds of villagers and/or trade carts. Are you proposing something like this? I’m not a fan. I agree with @DukeOfLorraine that if anything is changed, just make it a hover.
We can already do this, isn’t this enough? I’ve never had issues with it. Click lower-right icon to enable the Economic info for map:
I agree
I suggested this a while ago myself too. Would be good if developers would find a way how to display total number of economic units somehow or at least make it moddable.
