| Summary | 0016757: Social Advancement Click OKAY is onerous | ||||
| Description | I know that Keith fixed this in a previous ticket of mine (http://www.arcengames.com/mantisbt/view.php?id=16177), but I'm not happy with the solution. Right now, in order to select a social advancement, you need to mouse over the options you are deciding between, select one, then click okay. One too many steps! (and one that always irritates me in games) Suggestions: 1. Let the selection be a placeholder for an action that doesn't occur until after "End Turn" has been pressed. So, you have selected Better Philosophy. At any subsequent point before End Turn, you could return to the cultural advancement screen and select something different. Only after you have finished your turn would the system check to see which one was selected. I think this would be akin to the tech tree. 2. Possibly harder to implement, but left click to select, right click to deselect. I don't like this idea as much because it requires more player commitment (the psychological barriers to clicking are huge :-p) | ||||

I have to say, I agree, this pisses me off as well in practice despite it being my suggestion. ;) I like your option number 1. |

Note to Keith: Please mark 0016843 as completed as well when this one is complete. |

For 0.851: * Now when you click a social progress node to spend the point in that category: ** There's no more confirm popup. ** It doesn't immediately research the node. ** It's displayed with a special ring for visual feedback. ** It will have a tooltip (obviously visible right after you click, since your mouse is there) telling you "This social progress node is now queued to be researched at the end of your turn. If you change your mind before then, you may click this node again to deselect it or click on another node to select it instead." ** When you end the turn, any queued social progress nodes will be unlocked before the AI players take their turns. Thanks :) |
