Looking For Minor User Experience Answers

[mercury529]

Hey Everyone,

I finally have time to actually play Civ 5, but I am running into a few issues that are just kind of annoying. Does anyone have solutions for the following:

1.) By default, my load menu screen defaults to "Sort by Name". This is pretty illogical when Last Modified is far more useful. Is there any way to default sorting to "Sort by Last Modified"?

2.) After loading games, my "Info Panel" is set to nothing (the section where can display tech progress for instance). Is there any way to get the game to automatically set it to the panel I had selected at the time of save, or at the very least a specific panel every time the game loads?

3.) After loading my games or starting a new one, the "Citizen Management" option is not set. I have to manually change it. Is there a way to always have this default to on (or stay on permanently)?

Thanks for any suggestions you can give.

I am a user experience architect for a living and yes, I agree with you on all counts. I particularly had noticed 1 and 2 and they bug me a little as well. When you do a lot of saves as the same ruler, you really need to be creative with save names. I usually hack my way to last modified by putting a $, %, *, 0 or other early character in front of the default name of my latest save.
