[Implemented] Cancelling Multiple Trade Routes

Can you add check boxes for "Terminating Trade Route" so we can cancel multiple trade routes at once? Right now if I want to cancel multiple trade routes it takes a few minutes of clicking one dot and scrolling to the bottom and clicking the terminate button for each fleet.

[Implemented] Terminate multiple trade routes

This has been proposed in a few other places in the forums and I think it would be a simple and really needed improvement:

I would like to be able to terminate multiple trade routes at once rather than selecting a fleet then clicking terminate route for every fleet.

Can you add a button next to "Terminate this trade route" that says "Terminate ALL trade routes"? I would just like to stop all routes quickly in the case of a voodoo attack or if I want to change all my trade routes due to changing daily prices.

Please add soon!

Yes, I would really like to have this, or to be able to terminate several at once, like how you can put multiple fleets on the same trade route

The current pricing system encourages traders to follow the best prices but it's getting really boring to try to change routes to match prices because it takes so long to cancel routes. I can't play from my smart phone because it takes a ridiculous amount of page loads just to cancel my current trade routes.

You made the prices better to encourage changing trade routes but the interface is beginning to make it not worth it. Would this change take a lot to implement? I was hoping adding one "terminate all" button wouldn't take too long to add.

It is easy to add but we want to do it the right way; like adding checkboxes and a check all button. Then it will work with the current buttons. Just give us some time, we are really overwhelmed right now with the treasure hunt feature.

Regarding the trade prices, we are open for ideas. Updating your trade routes strategy like daily is not something we would like to promote as it can end up in frustrating and unbalanced gameplay. The unbalanced part goes to the time the update takes place. We may have to change prices on longer terms perhaps? Or shorter? Add more bonuses? Whatever you think, just follow this link for your ideas:

Market Prices Card

There should be a card to change all the market prices around. Like all of Avonmore changes. Maybe this could go in the Ultra Rare card power set. :shock:

Seems like a good option to me. IMHO I think that using check-boxes are almost always the answer, where you can choose multiple selections from a list of options (ie multiple routes to terminate, or multiple fleets to go on the same trade route). For most things, check-boxes are better than the radio-button option: radio-buttons should only really be used when the user absolutely must choose only one out of multiple options (eg:male/female or single/married/separated/divorced/widowed)

I agree that we need a button to terminate all trade routes and an option to terminate multiple selected trade routes at once. I'm glad the devs will be working on this. Hopefully, it will be out soon!(Any time frame?) May I also suggest an option to change multiple trade routes at the same time once their current trade routes are terminated(without waiting for fleets to reach port). Travelling fleets would reach their current destinations before starting on their new trade routes.

+1 to change multiple trade routes at the same time once their current trade routes are terminated(without waiting for fleets to reach port, as suggested by Cdv
