Automated payments from alliance banks?

[Dagon Thyne]

I was thinking that it's really hard to keep track of which resources alliance members need.  Some need coal or iron to make steel because their nation doesn't have one type of mine or the other,  Others need brauxite for aluminum.  It gets to the point where you forget to send respurces.

 

I would like to see an automated payment system from the alliance.  Where you put in a nation's name or ID number, select how often the payment will be made, and automatically does it, as long as there is enough in the bank.  This way, you can set up regular payments without having to spend so much time asking how much every needs and redoing it every time.

This isn't a bad idea, IMO. As long as it's easily managed it could be very helpful.

Eh, why not just give a bigger pile of resources to your consumer nations? Then they won't need a refill for longer and it'd be more convenient. Just something to think about if the idea doesn't happen.

Some alliances have alternative economic setups and could make excellent use of automatic distribution in reducing the tedium of doing each individually. Similar to how the alliance banks and tax system were included when doing it all by hand finally was automated.
