I don't know if the game's API would facilitate this in a future patch or not, but I would love a new unit action: constant recon (or something like that).
The motivation: I like to have my air units stationed at frontier cities and forts do recon missions on the same square, every turn. As my empire grows, and technological advances allow it, I add more air units to this process. I end up spending an increasing percentage of time each turn hitting 'R', clicking and waiting for the unit movement animation.
The solution: just as non-bomber air units have the interception missions, a constant-recon assignment could button could be added next to the regular recon mission. You just click constant-recon or some short-cut key, then click the target square and each turn, the air unit would do the fly over until the user cancels the mission.
It would not only help Civ IV mid & late game, but also mods like Final Frontier. Any ideas? Would anyone else like to see this?
