asking for confirmation would be rather annoying in the early stages of the game, where you might have not a single unit moving every few turns or for a few in a row. although having a simple option in the preferences for this would definitely not hurt. as for your anger, try and control it, but i definitely know how you feel.

I have had several incidents where I declare war on a civ, wake up an ICBM, nuke them, but I didn't have any other units to be moved and it ended the turn. So my offensive is delayed and it was supposed to be lightning quick. The loss of the first turn screwed me over."The first man who, having fenced off a plot of land, thought of saying, 'This is mine' and found people simple enough to believe him was the real founder of civil society. How many crimes, wars, murders, how many miseries and horrors might the human race had been spared by the one who, upon pulling up the stakes or filling in the ditch, had shouted to his fellow men: 'Beware of listening to this imposter; you are lost if you forget the fruits of the earth belong to all and that the earth belongs to no one." - Jean-Jacques RousseauComment

John and Jaybee:
There is a preference option to prevent that from happening, but this is not what Kristjan is talking about, he accidentally hit the orange button next to the unit dialouge box which automatically ends your turn regardless of your units left. Kristjan is correct their should be a confirmation notice before ending your turn especially if you have units that haven't moved.* A true libertarian is an anarchist in denial.
* If brute force isn't working you are not using enough.
* The difference between Genius and stupidity is that Genius has a limit.

I will, but that takes time. I just had an accidental EOT in the middle of a 200+ units battle campaign.
This is a correct remark.
I had the same problem several times.
Playing on huge empires and on huge maps with a moderate computer, an accidental EOT is not funny.Comment

Never happened to me; and I always play on huge maps with 16 civs and more than 200 units during Modern Era.Originally posted by Kristjan
Stop spitting out nonsense...
I was scrolling on the map and hit it accidentally. Every GUI designer should understand that this kind of action by user requires verification.

A nym (pronounced NIHM and a shortened form of "pseudonym,") is a name invented by or provided for an Internet user in order to conceal the user's real identity and, in some cases, to expressly create a new and separate Internet identity. Among reasons to have and use a "nym" are these:
1. You want to comment or take part in controversial political or other discussions on the Internet without revealing your opinions to colleagues, friends, or employers
2. You want to send spam (unrequested bulk e-mail) without anyone being able to trace it to you
3. You are a self-declared cracker that wants to talk about it without being identified
4. You simply feel strongly about protecting your privacy on the Internet
5. You are incapable of making relevant coments on any subject including your online nick.Comment

Something about kettle, black and pot springs too mind..Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - EpicurusComment
