Selection of city level bonuses

from Elemental Forums

Perhaps I have been unable to find the right button for it, but a problem I see is when you select level up bonuses for a city. I know a lot of people have said they don't specialize so it doesnt matter, but assuming at some point it would: let me look at the CITY DETAILS.

When the level up window for the city pops up, I can't zoom to the city, look at its details, see what buildings are already built etc, etc. Especially in larger games and with the somewhat random factor of what the bonus building is going to be, I want to be able to see the detailed information on the city and where it is before I make my choice.

On level up, stop freezing the window and forcing me to choose right then and there. Either allow me to hold off on making the choice, or allow me access to the cities information to be able to make what I think is the correct one.

This has been requested repeatedly...

Ya know... it'd be a big help for beta testing if the devs would keep an updated list of commonly raised issues with a status on them, as in 'not going to fix', 'on the list to be fixed', 'might be fixed', etc.

It's a bit dispiriting to see the same bugs and issues raised, and then re-raised by more beta testers. We're covering the same ground repeatedly without any real idea if we're wasting time discussing certain issues.

You would be amazed at how many times this has been requested.  :'(  

 

Oh and in before the "just look at the city description at the bottom left you should remember what building the AI built in their city before you stole it 200 turns ago!" crowd.

In that case I'll add something everyone else has probably requested a bunch also: how come the ledger screen doesn't give the amount of production each city generates? I mean it lists money and research generation.......what about production?

Also requested yes :rofl:

The latter issue is likely a simple bug/omission.

There is so much space on the citylevelup screen. Unfortunately this space is taken up by art instead of a detailed list of the city and the buildings you already have there. You also can't see the buildings you are choosing from very well.

The popups are probably the most annoying thing about hitting end turn. The pop-up system needs to go away completely, no one likes pop-ups especially ones that force you to make a choice immediately with no info. My favorite is hitting end turn being told to choose a tech and then being forced into battle before I can even do that :D

Doesn't list mana either. At least in my current game I have buildings and resources that produce mana anyways.
