Summary0004905: Large settlement management is cumbersome
DescriptionCurrently settlements seem to be more and more difficult and cumbersome to manage properly as they get larger. A lot of 'overview' style options feel needed. For example, it would be very helpful to view a table of your settlers with the number of time units they currently have, how much they will have next turn (highlighted red if any TU would get 'clipped'), morale values (to make sure everyone is at 100, kill some monsters somewhere if they're not..), work allocations, bonuses etc..

Right now it is quite painful to scroll through all of your settlers to make sure they aren't going to clip time units next turn, optimize work assignments when you get new settlers (oh great got a new bipedal chainsaw, ok, now which of my 12 Woodcutter's have a non-bipedal chainsaw worker??), find specific settlers for tasks (if I'm on the strategy map and I'd want a way to JUST select my explorers and scout with them, without scrolling through all the other settlers) and probably other organizational issues that might come up as more content gets added.

Currently my main settlement is only a paltry 35, I can barely imagine how much of a pain it would get once you get into the hundreds of survivors.

Disclaimer : I found myself somewhat uninterested in playing AVWW in the past couple of weeks or so. I thought a bit about why and came up with a few things that have contributed to a decreasing interest in playing the game. Sorry if they seem petty or demanding! That is not the intention, I am just attempting to objectively describe why I'm not playing AVWW right now ;-)

With settlement management out of our hands, they'll keep themselves in line.
