Hi Elvenar Team,
Would it be possible to provide an option to cancel scouting too. Currently there is option only use Diamonds or Speed/Time spells once a scouting begins but an option to cancel would be nice too.
- Like if I change my mind and want to scout another province instead.
- It could also be like I actually wanted to do another one but unfortunately clicked the wrong one.
- It could also be like I would not prefer to continue with the scouting. Like we have for building upgrades where we can cancel the upgrade anytime mid-way.

Thank you,
Zaapps.

Hi @Zaapps (and all you wonderful Plus Ones :)) I asked the question and on this occasion, the answer is unfortunately a No. Whilst this is a popular idea, and clearly would be a welcome addition to you all, we have to consider the work involved to make this so. The World Map contains every player and as a result is huge! To implement this idea would be a monumental task and for that reason, it isn't currently a priority for our Developers. Excellent idea though so thank you! Maybe (and hopefully) it is something they will consider in the future!

Kind Regards

Herodite.

Thats sad. Hope they will consider in the future. Am sure it will only make the game and gaming exp better.

Hi folks,

There is one problem, and that is why it can't happen yet:

AW like Enar's Embassive gives you mana for every Scout. If you cancel this scout, your mana will need to be deducted. If you didn't have mana, it would not work as expected, not for now at least. Like this, a few more aspects.

The developers are aware of this though. The idea is great, so it's not going to waste!

A lot of things are set up to reverse whatever has been spent, such as when troop productions are cancelled and the tools are returned. In this case there is the possibility that a player may end up on a minus mana or tools total, but that's not necessarily a problem. It would be exactly like when a residence is sold/teleported and available population moves onto a minus figure. It would take a little extra coding, of course, but shouldn't be insurmountable.

We prefer to not get very technical, but there are quite a few more factors that happen when you start to scout a province. So, besides the mana, there are a few more aspects that are interconnected with the activation of a scout.

Also, negative pop/culture does not touch as many mechanics as scouting does. Furthermore, if you have negative mana, decay needs to be rethought for example.

But as @herodite said above, it is something that the developers took note of. Right now they are working other aspects of the game as you all know. I'd say it's a "no" for now, but a "maybe" for the future :)

I would agree, I have occasionally thought it would be nice to be able to cancel a scout, but in the end I wouldn´t especially call it a high priority. Send the devs back to fixing the broken tourney formula!
