[Feature request] City Management

from Elemental Forums

I'm at the stage where I've got over twenty cities - half of which I built myself, the other half I conquered, and city management is turning out to be a pain having to move around the map to find each city, and bring up the details page every time.

To aid city management, it’d be really nice if we could move between cities on the city management page. What would be even nicer would be if we could have that same functionality when we’re looking at the detailed management pages (for example the gildar income / expenditure sheet).

If you’d consider adding this, I’d be mightily appreciative!

As a mention, that column on the left side that has all your armies and cities, if you mouseover it when it's too long to fit the screen and roll the mousewheel it scrolls the column. That might help ease what you're dealing with somewhat in the interim until a better method comes about (like a domestic advisor functionality a la civ4 for instance).

Yup, a Civ-like city management "spreadsheet" view would be a big help to the UI.

I find that I easily lose track of which city is which on the left side when I'm going through them one by one, and it is very cumbersome to do more than every few turns.  I find I just have to keep looking at the build complete warnings on the right side of the screen and just not queue anything up so when a city shows up there I issue a new build order.

A quick list of cities with what buildings and units they're producing would take a lot of the pain out of city management.  If possible, exactly like it's done in GalCiv 2 would be perfect!

Civ 4 had a city management screen that I think would work great for this. It provided a simple at a glance view of what every city was doing.
