[1.1] [UI] [Suggestion] Warning when ending turn when you have idle cities / units

from Elemental Forums

If you have idle cities or units when pressing end turn, I want the game to tell me "You haven't moved all your units this turn, are you sure you want to end you turn?". Or "Some of your cities are idle, are you sure you want to end your turn?". If you click no, it should center on something that is idle.

This would be really good when using the autoturn feature.  Too many times I move one unit and the turn ends, even though I have plenty of idle construction and training slots.

 

This would also keep me from obsessively checking my training and build queues each turn.  Which gets really time consuming and tedious.

 

To make the feature really work, you would have to be able to add "Idle" into a specific city queue, if you want that one to be ignored.   What would be really nice is if you can say, be idle for X turns, or idle until city levels.

Yes, Auto-turn shouldn't trigger when you have idle cities. I hate that.

And I agree with the "idle city" button. Just have a "sleep" hotkey/button for a city, and display some sort of an icon on top of a city that's currently in sleep mode. It should automatically stop sleeping when leveling up, maybe also when you learn a new tech or when an enemy unit comes close to it.
