I am not hacking yet (a general reminding program)
Imagine this:
1.
You decided to build a settler at Lyon: you plan that he will go to Paris when built, Paris will be set as his supporting city, then he will move to hill near Paris to mine it, then he will buid a city at specifyied square.
But your civ empire is very large. Later in the game, your settler is blinking. But you cannot remember your plans.
But there is another window running on your machine: it holds a copy of the map of your civ empire. You click on the "copy" of your settler and a small memo window opens: it contains three lines:
Paris: home
33/53: mine
33/47: build a city
and all Paris and squares of 33/53 and 33/47 are highlighted on the "copy" map.
2.
Or you plan to rearrange your workers in Lyon in 1950 BC and put them back in 1850 BC (you want to lower the shield production temporarily for example): you insert your plans in the memo window of Lyon and Lyon will blink in 1950 and 1850 automatically.
3.
you want to switch the barracks production to a granary when pottery is discovered
you want to change the tax rate when some key tech is discovered
you want to move a unit from a fortress to a city if the city reaches size 4 (martial law)
you want to be reminded about oedo years
etc., etc...
Generally, a "bookmark" could be attached to an unit, a city, a square, or all civilization.
My idea is specified more detailedly at Civ3-The List of Ideas for Firaxis: PLAYER INTERFACE (ver 2.0) . See my post from January 01, 2001 19:44.
But
1. I don't know Win programming
2. I don't know the format of .sav file
3. my time is limited
But I am prepared to participate if other programmers will be willing to create a team and to make a such program.
