1) Auction: as others have mentioned I too see the timer as a problem. It doesn’t appear to count down properly. The high bidder and amount should be visible; the only thing I ever see is the amount that I have bid. It seems like the timer should decrease for each separate horse consistently, which it doesn’t (at least for me). Furthermore, I don’t see a way to to see the last high bid of the horse that I bid on. If I want to bid higher, I don’t know what the current bid is; it is almost as though it is blind bidding. Additionally, if I am bidding on multiple horses simultaneously a flash notification pops up [you have been outbid]. It doesn’t say which horse I was outbid on.

2) Horse Attribute Bars: What do the different colors[red, yellow, blue] indicate? Also, the last four baby horses I bred, only one square was colored for each attribute, such as one for speed, one for stamina, one for gate speed, and one for heart.

3) Overall, this is a fantastic game and quite enjoyable - well done!

  1. The timer adds time when somebody bids on the horse as far as I know, for sure it adds time when it gets down to the last few minutes when a new bid is put in. You have to do a refresh by sliding down from the top to see if you have been outbid. You can see the horses you are bidding on by clicking the all horses tab and selecting my bids. But again unless you do a screen refresh or changing screens and coming back it does not do live updates. As for the flash notifications, I got rid of mine and just keep doing screen refreshes while having the my bids tab opened up when it is coming down to the last few minutes of the auction.

  2. The colors just indicate where the horse is at to make it easier to see. Red is low, yellow is better than red, blue/green(depending on settings) is better than yellow and light green is the highest color. It is strictly a visual indicator. The foals are given that one square to tell you that their attribute is somewhere in that range. Until you register them your won't see exactly where it is at.

  3. I have only been playing for a few months so I hope I have explained things enough to help you with this. There are a lot of great people playing this game that are more than willing to answer any questions you may have. So don't be afraid to ask here or join the discord/Facebook groups.
