Rejected "The Tool"

[DeletedUser590]

Especially in farming, there is a need to reduce repetitive tasks but without automating the process. That's what I think this UI change would do.

Basically, you can program a "tool" that - based on what you tell it to do - executes an action when the user clicks a village. Imagine the tool being placed in the bottom right of the screen. First there is a check box that, when ticked, activates the tool. Then there is a drop down lists. This can be set to "attack", "support", "scout" and so on. Then there is a second widget (type of the widget would depend on the choice of the first one) where the user can choose army or army preset, a number of scouts and so on. When the tool is activated the chosen action would be applied to any village that the user clicks on.

Pros:
- less mouse clicks and faster, less boring farming

Cons:
- could be confusing for new players
- new players would have it harder to learn using the "normal" methods.
- higher danger when accidentally clicking. However this could be solved by placing a back-button right after the tool saying "undo last action".

Thanks for reading!

There is a presets function which basically does this except instead of 1 click which could cause a lot of problems it only 3 clicks, very easy and simple to do.
