[Suggestion] Optional Clock

from Elemental Forums

I realize this is chrome request, but I suppose it can't hurt to ask.  With an immersive "one more turn" type game it's handy to have the option to show the time somewhere on the interface.  Civ IV has this as an option and as I recall the old SSG Warlords game had it too, although I'm dating myself a bit with that one.

lol  We'll be putting this in later...I fear it's bad luck/mojo/karma to put in a 'this game is so great it needs this' feature when the game is far from greatness. 

We'll make the game addictive first, then put in the alarm clock when you've played for 8 hours straight ;)

Only 8 hours straight? You're not a true civ4-player O:)
