Default Re: Wish-List for Dominions 4

I agree in spirit about the end-of-turn thing, but rather than a dialogue box--"Are you sure you really want to end this turn?", which makes me think, "Yes, of course I am, I just clicked on the button!" except when I think, "Oops, no I thought my keyboard was on QWERTY and I was hitting 'd' for Defense"--what if the computer paused for a second or so before beginning its calculations, and if you hit Escape during that time it would dump you back to the main screen. Sort of like an Undo in that it doesn't get in your way except in the rare case when it actually is a mistake.

Confirmation dialogues are bad and should never exist.
