Summary0015885: Suggestion: Add Local Clock to GUI
DescriptionJust a suggestion: I've seen a few games that have the current local time available in the interface: Diablo 3 and Guild Wars 2 have it, and as I recall Civilization 5 does as well.

Given that this is that variety of game that you might play for hours at a time, it might be nice to have the time in the GUI, possibly with an option to turn it on or off.

There is a clock of a kind on the UI already. If you check the first info screen on the Solar Map (the one you can also get to Race Relations from), the bar above it is the solar year, with each segment marked on it being a month. The bar fills up as the year progresses.

It would definitely be beneficial to make a note of that in game though, as I had to figure that out myself. The game never made a note of it and it's not obvious as to what that bar is at first.

Sorry, I just want to clarify: I know about the solar time. I'm talking about the real time, in the real world. As I post this, it's 9:34AM in New York. I'd like to see that in the UI.

With how fast time goes though at normal speed, I don't think it'd be possible :|a Each second is a day or several days I believe, so a clock would tick over very fast...it would be neat, but I don't think it'd be useful with how fast game time is.
