Is it possible to add some clickable arrows on the economy screen? I find it a bit fiddly trying to drag the values. Like the example below.

Also on the development screen as well. Plus could the territories button, mid screen, loop? If I want to go to say Zurich I have to click throught the whole lot, but would be quicker to go backwards.

Dunno if you can do this already, a quick locate for the Military screen. So you can find a unit on the main strategy map with one click.

All great ideas, MartNick!!

Yup, that's a good idea. What I was thinking about is a little mini-map similar to the one on the development screen. Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri (aka SMAC) had this and it was enormously useful, imho. Iirc, they had a cross-hairs thing to make it really easy.

Hey, that's a good idea. I'll add it to my little patch features wishlist.

Another thing I'd really like to improve is the relations screen (the one w/ smiley faces). I think that ought to be a map, not a matrix...

I like the map idea for the relations screen. Click on a province to add to the hotlist (which is very useful).

All great ideas that would benefit the usability of this game and that would be directly applicaible to any future titles.

I wish it would be possible to directly input the number, or there would be double arrows to accelerate the scaling. Remember the hardship associated with having to click tens' times or holding the mouse button for tens of seconds in giving the quantities for trade deals?
