Caravans with assigned Trade Routes are "idle"?

from Elemental Forums

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to ask if it was normal that all 'active' caravans are cycled through when clicking on "cycle idle" button. It gets a little tedious with large maps. Almost renders the button useless as you have to sort though dozens of carvans...

D:

 Thanks,

V.

Yes this is very annoying!

Yes, this is the number one most irritating UI quirk, since it makes finding units that can move either tedious or impossible depending on your willingness to sit through clicking or tabbing many many times.   They don't even seem to sort to last in the cycle.

Thanks guys,

I was feeling it was wrong too. I mean, it reminded me when I was 10 and tried my first few Civilization games... I didn't know you could set units to "Fortify" or "sleep" and so didn't have to cycle through them at EVERY turn... I didn't like having defensive units because of this lol. When my friend showed me the feature I almost let a tear slip out... ;)

That being said, I also noticed this would apply to ships set to Guard or Fortify... :( I didn't check if it applies to units on the field. Most likely.

Cheers,

V.
