I don't know what you guys did during your update, but now when I try to build mantlets and troops, hitting the checkmark confirmation button often not only doesn't respond, but clicks the button immediately under it. In the case of mantlets, that means I'm annoyingly buying, against my wishes, ruby rams. In the case of ranged, I'm buying less useful melee.
It wasn't set up like that before. I used to be able zoom through castles, doing the stupid robotic button pressing thing fast. So whatever bug this is, is now slowing me down and making me feel even more like a stupid button pressing moron than I was before.
Last, and I genuinely believe the above issue is a bug and not design, this is the only game I've ever played that seems to actively try to cheat its players out of money (well, rubies that are the in game currency that are often bought with money). You have ruby purchases immediately beside gold purchases, almost eagerly baiting people to misclick - and we do, and we curse. You have very poor ruby purchases, like terrible decorations that are worse than samurai decos, that we can buy for ridiculous ruby prices, that no sane person would ever purchase, and people misclick because they are in the middle of doing something and the ad pops up with the button - or trap - right where they're clicking.
So why this apparent devious business strategy?
I have to say, it's unappealing at best.

Like how the +1 help button is next to the double your troops button? And how the skip time for building is next to the skip time for rubs? Same thing when you are attacking a samurai camp or nomad.

I agree hiding, this stuff is stupid.

As far as I know, it's always been like that, at least for me.Hidingfromyou (US1) said:I don't know what you guys did during your update, but now when I try to build mantlets and troops, hitting the checkmark confirmation button often not only doesn't respond, but clicks the button immediately under it.

I had the same experience a few years ago. Since then, I only click the right edge of the checkmark confirmation button when I'm building mantlets. Then if it "clicks through" it just hits the mantlets and not the ruby rams.
