Please! Wish for next patch

[Cainehill]

Please, mother of goddess, do _something_ with the magic item screen so that "Laboratory" and "Throw it Away" are not right next to one another! For instance, put "Laboratory" at the _top_ of the list, and leave "Throw it Away" at the bottom.

If something had ever been done about this, I wouldn't have just thrown away an hour doing a turn only to have to quit the game without saving. Moving to put the Soulstone of the Wolves to the laboratory, "Throw it Away" was clicked on instead.

And since there's no comfirmation, one artifact goes poof, and the only way to do something about it is to quit without saving and restart the turn.

It could have been worse - I could have saved without noticing it didn't go in the lab.

But seriously - "Laboratory" is _so_ often the desired place to move an item that having it at the very top of the list would save a lot of people a lot of time, not to mention helping prevent fiascos caused by throwing an item away that shouldn't have been.

No you're not. If you were you wouldn't have made Dominions The Addiction in the first place.

Yes! Yes! Please make this change. I have made similar mistakes, too.

Did I mention that I sometimes play without a scrollwheel mouse? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif
Put "Laboratory" at the top! Please!

How much praying do we need for this feature? I think "Call God" is 40 priest-levels, but how though is this one?

Good idea... Or else please put a confirmation message when "throwing away" - it'll look like a Micro$oft software feature http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Argh!

I "threw away" a ring of wizardry Last month by accident. It didn't even occur to me that I should just have started the turn over again... mega-drat. I guess that is true for all the not-undoable actions like buying province defense and alchemy as well. I'll surely remember that next time, and I support one/both of these change requests too.

This change also gets my vote. Confirmation for throwing away items wouldn't hurt either.

I agree Laboratory should be at top for another reason of tons of commanders within a single province. Scrolling all the way to the bottom wouldn't be necessary if Laboratory is at the top.

Putting lab at the top of the list would be an excellent, excellent, excellent change.
