Zeldor,

Thanks. That is useful to know. Still, it would be mice to see it in the Nations Overview table instead of having to go from province to province to check it.

Another nice touch would be to have the Nations Overview screen remember where you were at when you last left it instead of having to scroll from the top every time.

In regards to accidentally ending your turn in a single player game my solution was always to just close the program. This is made easier by keeping the game in window mode rather then full screen. The game will save all of your moves as the first part of turning and so when you return to the game you can pick up where you left off, as if you never pressed 'e' or hit the end turn button.

I have no work-a-round for being the last submitter in a multi-player game.

If more programs in general would provide for simple human error, we'd live in a far better world.

I encounter this exact same curcumstance at work every day: You spend 15 minutes filling out information for a form, and to complete it you have to click on a button that's less than half a centimeter from another button that cancels everything out.

One thing that would really, really help in the ingame Map Editor:
Map +/- to hop to the next/previous province number.

Or any other type of key combinations, like >/< or ,/.

Since editing a map or starting it from scratch involves looking at all the provinces, you have to hit the # key all the time for every single province right now, to make sure that you didn't miss any. New hotkeys would help a lot here.
