[Bug/UI Issue] Never allow the player to go multiple turns without a Research selected

from Elemental Forums

Due to the really buggy event queue system (see: https://forums.elementalgame.com/415668), it's currently possible to have the research selection popup appear, then get overridden by a battle event.

If you forget to revisit the research screen, the game is happy to let you pass many turns without any research whatsoever occuring - this shouldn't be allowed.

truth.  if you end turn without picking a research, it should just pick whatever's cheapest and start researching that.

It should prompt before ending the turn if research hasn't been selected.

Similarly, it should prompt if a city finishes its queue for that turn.

Agreed.

It should simply be impossible to end your turn without a selected research. Or maybe what sweatyboatman said.

Moving this, its a whammy that should never hit a player

This. 

Same for cities. I think if you want a city to idle, you should have to select 'Idle' from the build list.
