There's an option to turn off the black market stuff on the main gameplay screen.  For the graph and more detailed stuff, you will still need to go to the actual Black Market screen.

... whatever

maybe putting a button on that minitab to close so people can close it easily.

so you can see the trend in prices. Why buy crystal at 475 when it's taking a dive and will soon be around 450?

I have a different problem with the screen. well, its not exactly a problem, rather a suggestion.

in the bounty part, why do we always see basically the same information in both tabs. seriously the only difference is that one is for increasing bounty and the other is for showing the most highly priced player. what would make a lot more sense imo is to have the right tab always display your portray and the according bounty and on the left side you have the highest player with bounty on the head. if you are the one with most bounty then it changes automatically to the second. that way you can always see how you stand in relation to the most important competition and it gives more information on the same amount of space. increasing if obviously done on the left tab, where that non-you player is.

what would make it even sweeter might be if - in the case of two players have the same amount of bounty on their head as happens at the start of the game - on clicking on increase you could get a list of players who have the same amount so you can chose which one you want to award it to. probably not a big issue, since you will put bounty on top before the time runs out and your target is then more or less fixed anyway and the mini screen is more for those last hectic moments, but still, if there were time to do it ...

Too bad you cant drag the window anywhere you want. Id drag it over the bottom left bit which is useless to me.

Yea a minimize button would be a good thing.

On a 1200x800 screen (laptop native resolution) it is handy, but a huge eyesore. Like the OP says it takes up too much view room. I wind up just closing it, and using the old BM menu. Is there any way to make the window a little smaller?

It does seem a bit bulky compared to the rest of the interface, even at higher resolutions.

I was bit thrown to find that the buttons for each resource were arranged horizontally rather than vertically as in the main black market screen.

The left part of the window shows who has the highest bounty currently, and the button to the right is to increase it.

Yeah i just realised that. But i swear that in one game it didn't register when the AI put a higher bounty on my ally...maybe it was just slow...I need to test this more...

It shows the icon and amount of bounty of who has the highest on the left side. On the button, it seems to show who has the highest amount that you can add to.

Can you create a separate thread about this and label it as a bug?

Also, did you actually click to see if it did add bounty on the dead player, and that he was actually dead? (better safe than sorry )
