Summary0011372: [UI] Unit Actions "Auto Start Replay" option
DescriptionDuring the "Unit Actions view" phase, I play with every options checked (ie "Play All", "Auto Follow", "Skip Civilian") at 1x speed, but I still need to click on "Play" to start the sequence.

Solution: I would really love that the replay start immediately when I click "End Turn" of the Blue faction.

This does not require a new option, but could be the default when "Play All" is selected

To me, this seems like it would be more jarring than anything else. Thoughts of others?

Would definitely be handy, I think. I don't see much harm in having an extra "Auto Start Replay" button. Of course, it's nice to keep the buttons to a minimum if possible, though. Maybe then pressing space bar during the movement could then bring the playback menu back up if you need to tweak the auto settings a bit.

Just to add support to myself ;) this is the way Unit Actions are handled in Civilization (at least in Civ IV and Civ V), I checked it again yesterday and find it really more streamlined... you only click once at the end of the turn, there is no "player" nor many options you have to fine tune or so.
It "just works" out of the box for most players.

Plus it is know (Civ V) handled by a unique "End Turn" button changing on context, so if you still have action to take it says "Unit waiting orders", or "City needs to start a new construction", then "End Turn" when all is done.

* When you click "end turn," it now automatically starts unit playback rather than making you click play first.
