[0.95] UI Suggestions: Bigger End Turn button, Smarter unit cycling and Use button when picking up treasure

from Elemental Forums

There is already a separate thread about the duplicate treasure windows so I'll skip that. Here's a few UI improvements that keep coming to mind when I play BETA 4:

- The end turn button is really small; it is hard to press it. It should be much bigger. Say, 6 times as big as it is with a resolution of 1920x1200
- When I have moved all units this turn, I wish the camera would move to a city, especially if I have an idle city. Space could also cycle through all my cities after all units have moved.
- When picking up a book that increases stats or a potion, instead of the equip button there could be a Use button for instant use. You should also be able to determine which champion will use it from this window.

I second this, though I think the size of the button only needs to be 1.5x it's current size.  When movement points for all units are finished for the turn, the end turn button should light up or slowly flash/shine.  I should also be able to cycle through all units that haven't finished expending their movement points.  An icon next to the unit should show up (next to their portraits) so I can also tell at a glance which units have finished moving.  Well I know it's probably not called movement points, but you know what I mean...

 

In addition, it would be great to see how many grid squares I have available until my movement ends for a given unit.  In other words, say a unit has 5 grid squares it can travel.  If I select up to 5 grid squares, the path is green.  Anything beyond 5 grid squares should be red.
