Send Gift: +250 ducats button

[kente]

Hi, i don't know if this has been suggested before or if there is some programming problem, anyway i would like to have another button with +/- 250 ducats in the Send gift screen.
In early game would be probably useless, but in medium/late game i normally swim in gold and i send often >1000 ducats gift. If i send 1000 ducats i have to click 40 times the +25 button, if i send 5000 ducats i have to click 200 times.
Not a big problem, but if the devs have some time to spare, i think it will be a useful addition
cheers

I'd suggest shift+LMB, since that's how it works everywhere else. +1

I, too, use gifts extensively and in large amounts many times so clicking like 40 times can get really tedious, almost as bad as clicking unit build buttons repeatedly before we got army templates. I agree with the need of some convenient ways to send gifts in larger amounts. I think it should be shift+LMB like IIWW suggested. I support this suggestion.

Guys, shift+click already adds 100 ducats. It's not 250, but still cuts the amount of clicks to a quarter.

Oops, I forget shift is already used. I'd like larger increments, though, so I'd suggest CTRL + click for 500 or some large additional values for gifts.

Ctrl-Click for +25 Relations amount

Nah. Just have a separate "+25 Relations" button.

Discoverability, dude.

I would support adding +25 relations button along with CTRL+click for large amounts. Gifts isn't just for improving relations only.

I wouldn't mind having a 'Pay off their debts' button, which would be useful if you wanted them to join a war you were planning, but they would refuse due to a 'XXX is -840 in debt' modifier.

I dont understand why gifts are restricted to specific amounts of money anyway. Why it is not completly custom?

That is a great question.
