The place currently held by the end turn button (the little cogwheel) could for example be given to a (yet-to-be implemented) civilopedia button. Anyways, the two patches so far are huge improvements. Keep up the good work. =) ~Daniel _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
