Interface

[tonydowler]

First of all, I want to say thanks for putting this together! Warlords is a classic, and it's great to see someone working on a good implementation of it.

I have to say, though, that I'm having endless problems with the interface. I'd like to offer some suggestions.
- It would be great to have a confirmation on end turn. In my last game I placed my cursor near the top of the map where I wanted to end my move, right under the "turn" menu. The menu popped down and I clicked 'end turn' instead of the map. Very frustrating.
- When I move units together and group them, I have the expectation that they will stay grouped. When I come back later and accidentally move my hero off to battle all alone, it's also very frustrating.
- One of the charms of the old Warlords game was that I could scroll through my units by clicking next unit, and so progress through my armies. But when I try that here, I end up going back to the last unit I selected, rather than the next one. So as I do my turn, I'm spending more time clicking through the same units over and over again than I am looking at the units I haven't moved yet.

That said, I really like the implementation choices you are making. You're keeping what was good in Warlords, but putting you own spin on it. Keep up the good work!

Tony,

- It would be great to have a confirmation on end turn. In my last game I placed my cursor near the top of the map where I wanted to end my move, right under the "turn" menu. The menu popped down and I clicked 'end turn' instead of the map. Very frustrating.

This option is already there. When you are playing a turn, check the 'options' menu and you'll see a check box for 'warn before ending turn'. Check it and you'll never have this problem again.

- When I move units together and group them, I have the expectation that they will stay grouped. When I come back later and accidentally move my hero off to battle all alone, it's also very frustrating.

Unfortunately the grouping doesn't get remembered until you move the group at least one square. So don't group until you plan to actually move.

Ah! Thanks for pointing out that option. That's very useful.
