No, undo is mostly for reversing unit movement and attachments on the strategic map. You cannot undo diplomatic orders or build orders, or Treaties once submitted, so you have to be careful and think them through. That's by design. I like it that way, makes me pay attention, all too easy if you can undo everything ;-)

I'm with CeltiCid on this one. If you can't cancel build and dip orders then it just makes the game less accessible and less intuitive. The trouble is that just about every other game out there allows cancelling of orders so people expect this sort of functionality now-a-days.

yes, i come from FoF and there you can cancel ANY orders. there cant be any exploit, because you must end turn so they have any effect. And you can just click by error (my mouse loose batteries ofter and act by his way...). If you cant cancel your last order, you are not commanding your country ;)

Also, if you move pieces, then build or remove a depot, you can't go back and undo the movement of the pieces you moved originally.
