But if you're holding shift and miss the 'r' key... you're back where we started.

And intercepting the key presses can work, but it's annoying to lose 'e' if you're switching in and out of dominions.

How 'bout it Kristoffer - feature for the next patch, perhaps? A simple "are you sure?" dialog (optional, perhaps) would be great.

It's important to note - the game autosaves when you End Turn. It runs SP the same way that it runs PBEM, so when you End Turn, it generates a file to "send to the host", and then it "hosts the game".

If you End Turn too early, you can then quickly close the program, reload and select "Continue From Where I Left Off", and your turn will be as it was at the exact moment that you hit End Turn.

This problem also occurs for MP server-based games. But you can get around it there by playing your turns off the server. Not a problem for PBEM, of course.

Not a real problem in MP. If you're playing connected to the server and everyone else has already played, it would trigger the turn.

It's generally best to download the turn, disconnect, and play locally anyway. That way you don't have to do the whole turn at once.

I think Ctl-E for end turn is a really good suggestion.

Confirmation dialog boxes are really annoying, but I have hit 'e' instead of 'r' in SP. Depending on the scenario, there may not be time to close the window.

I like it when games punish you for being clumsy or losing focus.

An even better solution would be to let user mapping they own favorite key to all these actions...
That would also solve other keyboard problems (ie: I cannot record battle order with my french keyboard)
