Suggestion for a SIGNIFICANT improvement

Post by balto »

I have done this a few times now. I accidentally enter a Frozen region and then USA or Russia is UNFROZEN. That basically ends the game for an Axis player not prepared for that.

When you hit the End Phase Button, or End Game button, the software asks you if you are sure. The same thing should occur if you enter Frozen territories.

I am sure some will say.., but that is the rules. Well, I think that defeats the purpose. I mean, I just spent many hours in a well thought-out hard fought battle as Axis, now because of an ACCIDENTAL mouse click.., BOOM, the game is over.

Think of it this way.., what would be the downside of having this "Are You Sure You Want To Do This" screen when entering a frozen area.

Thanks.

PS - MAN, I am sooo pissed off.... Thanks for letting me vent. Please enhance this product by implementing this.

This has been suggested before. Perhaps a "are you sure" feature may get included someday. About unfreezing the US, are you aware that the frozen sea zones are slightly off-blue? Its not much of a shift in color, but once you train your eyes to see it, its easy to notice. Just for info, I have suggested in the past that frozen sea zones be made easier to see.

As far as accidentally unfreezing Russia, well that's another matter. Once you learn all the trigger events for that, it never really is a problem anymore. There is a nice top thread that explians all these triggers.

I agree it'd be good to have.

You get a visual warning for garrison requirement moves. You also get the "are you sure" pop-up for declaring war on neutrals, and that is far less significant.

It'd be nice if there were a pop up warning for any non-revocable action that has political effects.
