Players are already using fam forums to request aid, which makes sense. This is a good example of something that should be a game feature instead.
requesting aid
-
a “Request Aid” button present in various places
- the hq page
- the council page
- the family page
- a new navbar item?
- empire pages of family members
- next to any cost calculator
-
button goes to new page with a form
- if from cost calculator, values are pre-filled
- can only request from family, not specific empires
-
aid request is created, and has its own page and history
-
aid request shows in personal news and family news
fulfilling aid requests
-
a single click to send up to the entire outstanding amount, or as much as able
-
a second option is available to send a partial fulfillment
-
if more is sent than the outstanding amount, reduce package to match the request
-
any aid shipment is logged in personal news for sender/receiver as well as fam news
-
if the entire request amount is filled, the request is closed and can no longer be contributed to
-
if the entire request amount is filled, log in receiver’s personal news and fam news
