I have an idea already frequently used in the Civilization IV game (one of the most downloaded mods).
Clock with real time that will be located on the right bar. This may be useful, someone sits down to play only for a few rounds, and suddenly find is a few hours later
It happens to me too often ;)

Just came to Desktop to check the time... :oops:

I second the clock inclusion in the game.

I think this is a good idea. I miss it to.

PS alarm clock is not a bad idea :) Ive been late to some meetings a few times because of PzC.

Yup, this would be great! Not really related to gameplay, but a neat idea.

I certainly wouldnt mind a clock. More than once Ive tabbed out to discover its 3am.

A clock would be kinda nice, though I'm one of those hippies who still have a real clock next to the computer on the desk, so I could live without an in-game clock. Still, would be nice to have the time more "in-sight".

What I'd really like to see is some sort of separate "lowfuel aircraft" warning as option. I know there's the "moves left" option, and for low fuel/ammo there are actually icons, but still I managed to overlook a plane in Norway, since weather was changing all the time, so I needed to shuttle them back and forth between combat area and airfields.

Something like a "Are you sure you want to end your turn, Plane #1 will run out of fuel!" ?

hmm, maybe if it was a selectable option. I know I run my air force on fumes most of the time, and it would drive me nuts having to click a million context boxes every end of turn.

So am I, that is the best solution (it works for every different game)
