End of Turn Confirmation Dialog

Post by Tarrak »

First of all i must say i am really enjoying the game. It brings the good old Panzer General feeling back.

I am really missing one little feature tho: a confirmation Dialog when clicking on the "End Turn"-button. I manage to quite often accidently click on it when trying to swap targeting mode from air to ground units and keep ending my turn without having moved quite a lot of my units. Obviously this is a bit detrimental to my chances for a victory.

Would it be possible to add the End of Turn Confirmation Dialog, preferably along with an option to turn it off for people who want to save the extra clicking, in next patch? I personally and probably quite a few more would really appreciate it.

Using the M key to switch between air and ground might help.

Thanks, yes the M key helps a lot. Note to self: Check help and manual for hotkeys. :)

I still think an optional confirmation Dialog would be a good addition.

Agreed. I also use spacebar to deselect units.

You can access the list of hotkeys in game through the help tab.

We will include a confirm dialog for the "End Turn" button in the next version.

Thanks a lot.

For the sake of the people prefering to have as less clicks to do as possible could you add it in an optional way? What i mean is having a radio button somewhere in the options where you can turn the confirmation dialog on and off, depending on personal preference. That way both sides, the "like to play it safe" and the "minimize amount of clicking" fractions both will be happy.

I am generally a bit fan of optional dialogs and features. Even if some UI Guru stated a while ago that options are bad and confuse users i actually think giving options is never bad. As long as there is a good predefined setup giving options to the users to customize the ui to their likings can only be good.

Yes, it will be included in an optional way - by toggling it in the "Options/Game"!

I wouldn't mind having an END-OF-TURN hot-key as well :P
