Hello 
Since I´ve started playing civ 5 too much, I also realized that there are a few annoying things included with the new user interface. One big annoyance has already been taken care of with the improved city build queue mod in the mod components forum (take a look, its awesome
.
I´ll just point out the things in a short list:
1. Ending turns with Enter key is ok, but I´d also love it not to have to click manually on the button in the lower right corner when a city state interrupts my world domination dreaming when I just watch and hammer the enter key. Also when you use the "do not wait on turn end" option it would be nice to press enter to open a) city state screen and b) close it after laughing at their unimportant message of meaninglessness and c) when you can force your scientist slaves into researching some new WMD´s and also to d) open the new policy screen. All those things that pop up on the end turn button.
2. I use a big widescreen monitor, and I´m sure thats not a minority thing nowadays. Is it possible to move every pop up window like research or production in the middle of the screen so we don´t have to move the head too much while playing?
3. I would like it when you end the turn and a city has the "open fire on enemy" option, that the screen centers on that city. It happens that you get so many mini messages on the far right region of your monitor that you don´t realize why the turn is not ending automatically and then need to look for either the message or the city with the attack symbol.
Since Civ5 seems to allow interface customization, I´d really hope for some smart person to publish one or more mods that change those things. I´d even consider a reward in the form of an virtual smoochie or something!
By the way, does anyone know where I could send an email requesting a native "maximized windowed" Option for the game? CivGod@firaxis.com doesn´t work.
Thanks,
Dani
