Economic Phase Improvements

I would like to suggest that we move the Economic Phase to a single page, maybe something like an excel spreadsheet, that can be done in one page. Have each of your Freestates listed under your country, and a column for each of the types of troops/ships you can buy. Just enter a number in the column of what you want to buy have the totals in a column and then hit accept when you are done. The accept button woudl be for everything, not just your home nation or a single freestate. It shoud also auto deduct from your home nation money and just let you know if you want to spend more than the freestate has available. Then if you don't want it you can change it back.

Right now there is no system to keep track of who you have done and who is not done. Also the page can be saved between turns in case you want to go back and look at what you did last Economic Phase. Just clear it during the next one. I believe this would be much simpler than scrolling the map or moving down the Freestate list to each country.

Thanks

That is a good idea. I hope a nice graphic interface for it.

Thought that is true, that I like to know what I have done and a possibility to cancel buy done during the economic phase.
