TLDR : No skip time button. Fighters in base, healer good, spectate fights, fans cheer for me.
I think it would be cool if your hirelings, recruits, and even some other NPC's could be found around the shop and training areas etc. walking around, training with the dummies, resting in beds, eating food, walking around, an actual guy who works at the store... I'm gonna start stealing from it cause there are no cameras, and shits just sitting there asking to be used in battle. It would bring more life to the base. I literally explored it one time, and then I just stand in one spot where I can reach my roster, store, and the fights list without moving. I know they said that more was on the way so I hope we see this sort of thing someday.
As for resting and passing time to heal, I'd rather pay money to a physician who puts leeches on me or something, you know patches my boo boos up with some Band-Aids, and then I can use another fighter until mine is healed. I think the fact that fighters heal automatically after a fight is kinda dumb. I think that they should need to go to the healer first, and then once they have they can heal after the rounds. You gotta pay the price for being careless in a fight. Wounded fighters shouldn't enter a fight until they've been looked at by a physician, and he will tell them to rest and heal. Like below a certain health threshold your fighters should be considered crippled and be grayed out from the list until they heal. Also fighters who have gone to see the healer, should be restricted form entering for a few fights. They should be in bed and eating chicken noodle soup.
You'll run out of fighters if that happens! Yep. But you can pass the time by placing bets and spectating fights or something, and if you're out of fighters and out of money, then I guess I would be okay with a "pass the time" feature. But I would want to spectate a fight or something. If it just went black for a sec, and then faded back in I would think that is silly. I love the realism, but at its core, this is a game meant to be played for fun times. Seriously though, I wanna get in on some of that sweet sweet spectating/betting action. And I want to have fans. There needs to be an audience for some of the fights! People gotta cheer for me, and boo at the enemy. I want everyone to make noise when I smack a dude in the face with my metal bar, I wanna hear booing and hissing and cheering and clapping. It might even be interesting if there was only an entry fee, and your winnings were based off of pre-determined odds or something. I derailed...
NO. No skip time button. That is my humble opinion. I won't throw a fit if something like that gets added though because I love this game, and its community and its developers. I just wanna have fun.
