    "Rehire same troops", hey that was one of my requests! I will not grumble about anything in this post of appreciation.

    I presume "immediately" means if you are willing to gem your entire crew. Not likely at current cost per crew. But probably, if you offered the 4 minute discount applied to the whole crew, without having to partial hire everytime. For those not familiar with the concept, it costs roughly 50% less to hire in 4 minute increments.

    After thinking about it, I bet it is a gem only option to instantly recruit the same crew. Like a button you can hit after a battle.

    The way it works is that on the results screen you have your existing 'OK' button which takes you back to your island, or the 're-hire' button. If you hit the rehire button, it queues up your previous crew without you having to go back to the Tavern and manually recruit each pirate. You can either hit the OK button at this point and wait for the recruiting to finish, or you can choose to gem to instantly complete recruitment and choose to go into another fight, all from the results screen.

    Cool beans! I like it. I still think a lot of people use the 1 gem for 4 minutes to gem troops for minimal gems. So unless the gem/time ratio is standardized so 1 gem is always equal to 4 minutes worth of training I'm afraid that a lot of gemmers won't use this feature.

    Seriously though. I like it and will use it!

    Yeah, if I'm spending the few gems I have, it's going to be in the most efficient way possible, not in bulk where it costs more. Lazy but not that much so

    @DamianWars
    Nobody will dare say an ETA.

    But I will guess that the update will be out some time before the following update.

    (my real guess is <6 days)

    Nice feature but not worth advertising. queing up your crew only take a minute.

    I doubt I will ever use this function. If I gem I do the 4 minute rule.

    Now if it worked that it would repeat the way that hired the last crew, meaning took the same time and used the same Gems then I think it would please everyone. Basically like replaying the things you did without you having to do them (a macro, recorder + replay, etc. )

    Also, (may have missed this) what if you didn't use all of your previously hired crew? What happens then?

    @Keelhauler Jake : Also, (may have missed this) what if you didn't use all of your previously hired crew? What happens then?

    I think the logical way for it to work is for it to queue the troops lost and the existing troops are simply already recruited.

    Yep, you just re-recruit the pirates you lost and they get added to your unused pirates, restoring your crew to its former glory!

    Perfect! Just what I wanted. I am truly looking forward to seeing the end result soon. And with the not mentioned gemming changes that are not mentioned by anyone ever.
