[Trade] Add a »buy all« button

Sometimes, players have to buy quite a lot of luxury and/or strategic resources from the same player.

It can be a bit tedious, especially on huge map later in the game.

Doing it regularly for few players when trade roads get ransacked becomes a burden.

So, I'd wish to get a »buy all« button.
While some options might be welcome, a first iteration that would simply buy in the displayed order all the resources available and simply print a message for confirmation would be enough. If you fall short of money, you'll simply get everything until you can't pay.
Having two buttons, one for the luxury, one for the strategic resources could also be good.
There also the possibility to have some kind of list, that the button would tick, for the player to tweak.

Upvotes welcome!

Hello ! I am happy to say that we implemented this Idea in the George Sand update, with a "Buy All" button for Luxury Resources :)

What would happen if you run out of money in the middle of the list?

I would suggest instead to add a button which would open a panel with all the available resources to buy and you can simply buy them with a single click, like you can add more cities to shared projects or something similar. (The panel should show the costs as well)

You'll simply get everything until you can't pay.
The idea is to be able to make it fast, even if it is at the cost of efficacity. If you're stuck in an intense war, you might want to keep your focus on it and just carry the trade part of the game as fast and simply as possible.
The goal is to do it in the least amount of clicks.

That'd be great ! We also need a trade tab for a better view of our trade routes, eventually impact on ransacking.

Moreover sometimes trade routes are broken for some unexplained reasons, this tab could fix it with more details on events in trade.


Thanks

the most reasonable result in this case is that the buy all option is grayed out if you cant afford it. it would still help to have this feature in many cases

It would work too, indeed.

I really like the idea and I understand the necessity that led you to come up with this solution but, starting from the same issue, I though instead of creating a completly dedicated "mode" to the commerce-related things, in a similar way we have a religious and a cultural one [Link]. I'm not really writing this post to advertise my ideas instead of the ones of other people because I see mines as "better", but I'm doing it to offer the community the chance to look for the bright/down sides of each idea and then voting their favorite one in order to come up adding in the game the best possible idea (or, at least, the most popular. This little detail may actually break my point). I hope you would appreciate my intentions.

Hey Hey,

It is something we have on our radar and it's something we would like to have an answer.
Still in discussion with the team on the best approach to the subject.
Have a nice day :)

I have a simmiliar idea/request but for armies

ADD A »UPGRADE ALL« BUTTON FOR ARMIES

You can simply select at the same time more units of the same army by holding shift and then clicking the first and the last units that you want to select. Then you can immediately upgrade them all.
