[SUGGESTION] Make the fore/back choice buttons have a drop down

There's a few these choice buttons on the "Create your world" screen (for example). it's hard to see all options when unfamiliar with them, so this might be a newby annoyance. I suggest them to behave like drop downs when clicked, so that one can see all the choices at once and then choose one from the list.

A similar button exists in the unit builder, to choose an icon for the unit. I don't know how many units one is going to create during a game, but the prospect of cycling trough that long list of images every time makes me sad.

I want to second this, as I was going to make a thread on it myself (beaten!).

For usability, I would suggest that these scrolling choice boxes need to at least have drop-downs when there are more than 2-3 choices in the list. While this kind of scrolling solution makes a lot of sense on consoles, I think drop-down menus are more helpful when you have access to a mouse since:

A. Having a drop down clearly shows you all the choices that are available, letting you make a smarter selection without having to scroll through all options just to see if there's a better one arounf the corner.

B. Having a drop down allows you to immediately select the choice you want, often as soon as the menu is opened.
