Is it possible and convenient to make multiple buy or sell option in trading? - that is there is one text input box for each resource.  for example, I type in:
Wood  "15000"
Iron    "2500"
Stone "30000"
then click "Sell" so I can sell all these resources according to the amount I typed in at a time in steading of clicking "Sell" 3 times.

I am sure this will make things simpler and faster in a long run especially when time and internet speed become an issue.

Cheers

This is a really good idea. I was terrorised when i bought 200.000 wood instead of 200.000 iron. All this happend because the first time i didn't had enough gold, so i transferred some more. The second time i forgot to select the right radio button... and lost a lot of money...  *Angry*

With your idea, there are less possibilities for errors.

This problem can actually be solved rather easily. Just click the buy/sell button more than once before the page reloads. So ull end up buying 400-600K at any 1 time. Ive tried to a maximum of 600K.

How many times you forgot to select stone, and got 200.000 wood?  *Tongue* *Tongue* *Grin*

P.S.
Anyway wood is also needed for fortress, so my advice is: Start buing stone... During the procedure, accidentally some times you will buy wood. But it will not be useless  *rose*

Lol, try to buy 13 miljon stone for a lvl 8. 5*13=65 times 200K stone to buy. Pfff, then it is very easy to  make a misstake and buy 2/3* 200K wood.

I think the 200,000 maximum is fine. This is the way to maintain a balance in purchasing resources...

We must remember that market prices fluctuates base on supply and demand. it would be unfair for other players who would purchase resources 1 second behind you.

Example, by building fortress 7 you need a lot of stone which can push prices higher.

Can you imagine you can bought those stones at very cheap price, while after buying pushing the prices by several decimals?

Abuses might occur it no limit would be placed. Any one can just simply keep on selling or buying to monopolize the market so that other players will have difficulty in upgrading what ever they wanted.  *Smiley*
