Heya, apologies if this has been suggested before!
In big empires, I always get frustrated at worker micro. Especially when there's a big war going on, I usually end up putting them on sleep and forgetting about them.
I'd propose instead of/as an alternative to the current system, the player can "mark" tiles with the desired improvement (trading post, mine, farm, etc). This could be done en masse - eg, designating 20 trading posts. Then the AI could automatically do all the routing/building - like a simple version of how it works in Dwarf Fortress I guess. Seems a simple idea to me but I guess would take a lot of coding!
While I'm at it, could there be a "yes I know there's an enemy 5 hexes away, shut up and keep working" button?
