Ok I have few questions to modding and a few ideas I would like to try if it's possible. First the ideas:
1. A button in the "city screen" that gives you the option to "come back after X- amount of turns". Press the button, put your # of turns in the field and ENTER. I run into the micromanaging problem a lot and I know this could help my early game where turns matter. I try to remember to come back to Dis in 13 turns but I just happened to get heat from another front. That means I'll probably forget and due to insufficient infrastructure, more than likely, will lose a worker. When
's aren't going to come to a town for awhile I like to bring pop. up so in case theres any starvation I have a little time to play w/. Might want to enlist a specialist right before/after a city pops(?).
2. I would also like to "go to a city's screen" from the F1 adviser. I know I can enlist specialists and build/queue(sp?). But I want to look at the layout of the land. Has it is I have to close out of F1 adviser and find the city by map or F10-cycle through. It just seems like you should be able to do this,imho.
3. Cycling through city screen, map plot and build menu(window) would (in my mind) help me has a new player also. Me being on the new, I was always turned off when I had to change my build queue and was forced to cycle through the city screen menu. The art, the units, buildings....(sigh). Im sure Im over thinking things has far has this may go. But when you don't know whats really going on and want to micro. the best you can, it might help..?
4. Ya I might want to build a dungeon if I knew what my crime rate was??? A mouse over (maintenance/crime rate) would jam right?
Which one of these would be the easiest for a noob to tackle? If anyone would like to comment on the difficulty level that might be involved, I'm all eyes. Of course any comment is appreciated.
