Default Is there an "undo"?

Maybe I'm blind, but I haven't found an "undo". If it's not too late, I'd like to humbly request that one be added.

With an undo would come the need to confirm the end of the phase, since the program would no longer know if the last move in the phase was really the last.

no, there isn't. There's a weird "replay turn" that seems broken and I'm not sure what it's supposed to do. The whole turn?

and yes, it's been asked for (several times). Another time won't hurt :-)

That just is a replay (like a sports replay) that shows the last turn again.

Thirding a request for undo, at least for movement. I can't tell you how many times I've moved something and realized it wasn't what I really wanted to do...

And yes, while I understand the automatic phase advance, I actually prefer having to manually end my phase/turn as it means I've considered everything I need to. Perhaps that can be a togglable setting (and yes, I'll email this one too :P)?

Fourth-ing. Especially w/ the 'right click if not all movement points were used' bit.

or a movement the !!@#($%!ing AI moved for you that stuck your Ogre in a swamp.

Seriously, we should not be penalized for mistakes the UI makes for us, or a flub because you mis-clicked on something, and should be able to fix it.

What do you mean by the UI making mistakes for you? You can draw the path you want to take by clicking on the hexes you want to pass through if you're unhappy with the suggested path.

Thanks

Why does that even exist (and it doesn't seem to work right, anyway)?

I think it's there so you can go over what happened previously when playing multiplayer games, and/or after coming back to a save after a while. In principle it's a good idea, I'm just not sure it's ready for prime-time...
