Shallow, quick, and no brainer suggestions here

1. The yes/no message box to leave the garrison screen is crazy making and has to go.

2. The Exit and End Turn boxes should swap positions. The bottom box is the easiest, most natural to find and click; it needs to be the End Turn button.

Thanks for feedback.

The aim is to avoid the user making mistakes but we could remove teh confirmation boxes in some places. It's a tough call - preventing the user making mistakes vs making the UI too clicky.

I'm not sure what you mean about Exit & End Turn boxes? When do you see these boxes?

There is no downside to going back from the garrison screen. But there is high frustration with extra clicking every time you want to examine the troops.

Currently the Exit button is the bottom button. I have clicked on it numerous times when what I wanted was to end the turn. The actual End Turn button, however, is in a place where you must pause briefly and think about where to click. I suggest swapping them.

On Garrisons - maybe it should only make you confirm if you have made a change?

I think the exit/end turn is a personal preference thing. I've never had that issue personally. If you moved them you'd need to re-order the entire button list for consitiency and I just dont think it really adds any value?

That would be a great improvement.

Guess our mileage is varying...

For me, it's been a long time since I've intuitively gone to the wrong button so many times (thank goodness for the exit game confirm box

).
