So… wait
Was the confirmation notice dug out of the game files not even displayed anywhere in game? Or is it just easy to miss? I’d consider it due diligence notification if the confirmation screen has the troop consumption notice scrawled across the screen versus it looking like every other forge confirmation (“Craft 1x (this)/yes/no”). It seems like this would be noticeable, considering how little text there is there normally versus how many words are in the troop consumption + confirmation notice. Maybe not, though, and I have no way of knowing myself.
