I just went through the IR list and closed two duplicate requests for it, and another one on the FC2 list IIRC. > When I press "space" for a unit to skip the turn, I expect that to mean > that it will not pop up and ask me for orders again during that turn. > That's what "skip" means.

In short, you are quite right, this is broken and annoying, probably is a bug, and its worse that you mention in that everything can get woken up again after the trade route and/or goto orders are executed. Clearly the semantics of "Skip" have drifted with time. It may take a bit of trial and error, but we should be able to bring it back to "skip really means skip". There is some internal weirdness with units that are given a move that can not be completed immediately, units with long distance goto orders, and units that have had their moves removed for special reasons (e.g. trade haggle fail), hence my caution. Which if any of these (including explicitly skipped units) should appear in the End Turn panel is another question. I am assuming that if you skip a unit, you would *not* want its potential for movement zeroed out, so that it would still be able to be activated by hand and moved. Cheers, Mike Pope
