Ummmm. So I crack it out of its box, finally. Clicking around, read what I could on this from the manual. So I click to build a building in a city... sorry, I didn't mean to do that, or I've changed my mind, just *how* do I cancel that building request?? I have tried evey click/key, no luck. Same, I think, applies to build troop order...

Ah ha, no wonder I couldn't figure it. I had to Google this one, the search here gave me 0 for either "cancel" or "building"

Not a good start for a TBS, I've never seen one where your builds await end of turn but you're not intended to review & change them! Oh well.

We'd like to have an "undo" feature, but the way the code is structured it couldn't be done. Players quickly learn to think through all of their moves for a turn rather than clicking and unclicking until satisfied. A mild inconvenience, but I think you'll get used to it.

Good to see you've installed and fired up the game!

Thank you for your interest, Gil.
Yes, I accept that, while not ideal, it requires a more "organised" approach to actions. At least the immediate "BackSpace" does do the trick.
