No HotKey for End Turn ?

Post by nukkxx5058 »

Or did I miss it ?? If not I really hope that the devs will add one, for both 'end turn' and 'confirm endturn' ...
Thank you !

The absence of such a hot key is actually deliberate, to prevent the player from accidentally ending his turn.

Given the time it takes to play each game turn, two mouse clicks per turn seemed a small price to pay to prevent this.

I understand but that's like wearing belt and suspenders as there's already a secuity with two times click :-)
Just that I'm a big keyboard user. Even on Excel I barely won't use the mouse ;-)
Anyway ... would have been a nice feature for me but no big deal. :-)

Very, very sensible.

It´s rare that game designers put so much thought into things. :)

Now just do change the unit selection screen when buying an army.

And yes, I understand there is some deliberateness here, too: It´s designed to be fast.

Problem is I´d much prefer "attractive" and "comfortable" and "informative" to "fast", so in that case I am really unhappy with the trade-off.
