Currently, when we access the summary screen during a battle, among the markings we see, including gold and maps collected, Mana Surge bonuses, and allied and enemy kills, we also see a Time Counter recording the time of the battle. I would like to request that this counter be placed on the battle screen. We have a large space above where we see the Gold, Souls and Maps collected. The battle “timer” could easily be placed next to these items. I am curious to see, live, how long my battles took without having to access the other screen. Would it be possible? _Lord MeghatroN - Gems of War’s player since 2014. Leader of the Raptors Brasil guild (Brazilian Gems of War Community)._ ---

I’d also like this stat seen somewhere on the victory (and defeat) screen for all modes. Would make it way easier to test team efficiency. ---

Exactly. I wonder why they didn’t immediately put it on the main battle screen. As I mentioned, it would fit perfectly next to the gold markers, souls and maps. And it would be equally interesting if after any battle in any mode, the time of the fight was presented on the next screen, along with the rewards. ---

And make it toggle-able as an option (like cosmetic skulls) so that it’s even complainer-proof ---

Great suggestions, I’d love for these to be implemented too 🙂 ---

Now that you mention it, that would be perfect. A few adjustments would be enough at the top of the main screen, above the board with the gems. I hope some Dev will see this suggestion and consider making this implement for us. ---

I’d like to see it happen, too, especially if the additional suggestions were taken into account, but I’m doubtful, unfortunately. Casinos don’t have clocks on prominent display for a reason, after all… ---

Let’s hope some Dev sees this request and takes us into consideration. It’s not something that will change the game against anyone, but it would help a lot in the fun, after all we would have more control over the teams we set up and tested. ---

Realistically, being able to see (at least in some clickable menu, e.g. a part of the battle info screen) other GW-related stats such damage dealt/received and mana generated would probably be fun as well. If they were really generous, they could add the option to generate a GW score for a training (or other) battle, assuming a particular colour. Some people like to see stats, achievements and progress! (This is getting a little separate from the main request, though, which I fully support as a non-default, toggle-able option, for the comfort of other passengers.) ---

Commenting again here in order to bring the suggestion to the top again because I still dream, at least, of a simple timer on the battle screen. I know I am not the only one who always thinks about how long it REALLY took in a battle and this is something so simple to present along with the result … ---

I sometimes forget to click the little Settings cogwheel button in time to check, and am left forever wondering 😭. ---

Even simple time after the battle would do the job here (like @Mithran previously suggested). There is perfect place for such thing on the Victory screen: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/2/e/2eee55cc37f17e0d768e5f3fdc2dd99f0ed4e14e.jpeg) Unfortunatelly, adding this to the game would take about 5 minutes of devs precious time and wouldn’t bring any additional money to them. So I doubt anything will be done about this ☹. ---

Bonus: Putting a counter that goes **up** on the playfield means there is now design space to create challenges where a timer counts **down** and you have to finish within a time limit. Same with a moves counter. Just imagine how many gems might be spent if every week a Campaign task asked you to finish 4 battles under 15 seconds! ---

I don’t even go into the merits of the countless possibilities with a stopwatch, or even a movement counter (I already suggested something like that). We could have a battle time rank (in each mode). ---

They’ll probably give a reason about how some phone screens are too small to see more things, so they won’t be able to see the timer if its on the board. They won’t do it for anyone. ---

Are there any battles where it displays three lines in that space rather than the two shown (above the suggested time location)? I can perhaps understand not wanting GoW to become too focused on how long a battle takes, but it’s definitely something that a fair few players want and if possible to be implemented as optional, should negate a lot of that concern – after all, the people wanting it are already thinking about the battle duration. ---

Could the time be added to the MVP screen instead? WoT has three post-battle screens that a player may either cycle thru, skip to the next battle, or return to the staging area. And WoT allows the player the option to do those with a single click, not three, unless the player desires to view the data.
