About the r-click in Dom1, I honestly thinks that what was "unfriendly" to new players is that it was the ONLY way to exit, and not a standard one !
Now that there is standard "exit" buttons, r-click would only be a welcome additionnal easy shortcut to exit ... better than Esc key

I liked right-click exit. But it was unfamiliar... I don't like scrolling down a menu to find the exit button. Every exitable menue should have a big "X in a Square" in the upper-right corner, where you click to exit.

I'm having a Deja Vu here. Same proposals were made when we started beta testing game, but little later nobody cared. This game (and lots of others I've played) is played best using keyboard shortcuts and ESC isn't so much of a problem.

Since you can order your commanders to search, patrol, research, etc. within a few seconds (using S, R, X, or other keys) it is logical choice to get used to those shortcuts since they save you time, clicks and make game even more enjoyable experience. After that you won’t care about ESC, trust me (been there, done that ).

Just some tips on UI here. You can group your commanders by left clicking on them and holding CTRL at the same time (ungrouping works same way). Grouped commanders can take orders together, like move, search, research, patrol etc and makes it much easier to make conquest armies combined of standard commanders, priests and mages.

Another one is that when you select commander, all shortcut commands will apply to him only (or them if it’s a group). However, if NO commander is selected just placing mouse over one of them and using shortcut will set that order for him (saves you a click).

Example: You want your mage to research spells. Method 1 is to select him (left click on him) and press Shift+r, which will give him research command. Method 2 is make sure you didn’t select anyone, place mouse over him and press Shift+r. That will also give him research order.

Method No. 2 is much faster and easier so I warmly recommend it.
