Minor complaints - the little things...

Not bugs, nor a bash thread, but just a few little, useful things that I think were unnecessarily changed or removed.

- Can't see a selected units route.
- Have to enter city screen to see what tiles are being worked.
- Too many clicks and panels to go through to set up a production queue. ( )
- City radius preview with settlers
- Can't center on unit with the middle mouse button
- Several keyboard shortcuts ( Why?! )
- Can't see what action or improvement a worker can do when dragging his movement over a certain tile
- Can't toggle any unit animations on or off. (ie. Why am I forced to watch the AI battle on my borders?)
- Information on AI/AI relations

And while we're at it, can we do something about the following?:

- Remove the Civ and date banner at the beginning of each turn
- Remove the extra unit orders panel (ie. fortify). Why not just have one panel?
- Stop having to select which version of DirectX before starting the game

Other than that, I'm loving Civ5. Most of the changes (the big ones) are for the better, IMO.

Thumbs up

+ can scout auto explore not piss CS off....

All very good points , or bad points


and yes! after Civ 4 and revolution i really expect perfection for going such intense overhaul. Not smart innovations covered by mediocre AI/UI design.

Totally agree. I very much miss those little things, and definitely hate that date pop up.

Doesn't say how the tile will be effected negatively when building an improvement over it

*Say, building a farm, over a forest next to a river*

I like the date popup, it looks nice

I also wish the scouts wouldn't trespass in City States if you auto-explore them - although it does at least mean I'm prodded to move them manually.

What would also be nice, is a way to flag a unit so an icon pops onto the right hand side or something, that you can click on to zoom to him. I've lost a great scientist like that before. I've had one ready, but completely lost him sat asleep somewhere in the territory of my sprawling empire

I've made a small improved build queue mod which implements shift and ctrl click, check it out here:
