Re: Improving the Autosend Merchant Option

Originally posted by Dagrem
If the AI has only one merchant to send, and several CoTs with checked autosend boxes, it should send the merchant the the CoT with the greatest difference between the desired level [Y] and the actual level. If there are 2 CoTs with exact same conditions and levels, the AI will take turns sending merchants to one, then the other, then the first one again, etc.

One problem here is that if I have 5 merchants in a CoT and no one else in the CoT I want my very next merchant to go to that CoT even though there may be another CoT with 0 merchants in it that I eventually want to get to 5.
With the method you describe it would send it to the wrong CoT.

Also 3 clicks to send 2 merchants is only 1.5 clicks each which ain't bad. :)

The only problem with this is if you get a rush of merchants when you have 6 already, then you lose out. :(
Plus the sooner you send them the sooner they start making a return on your investment. That is why I send them out when I have two.
