After playing this game countless hours here are just some thoughts on things that are irritating/annoying while playing this otherwise very polished AAA+ game which I really enjoy.



(1) Global score of all players while hovering over the next turn button.

Please make this optional. I really do like playing on huge maps, so in the beginning there is this nice feeling of being almost alone - but at the same time after 10 turns or so I can compare my progress to all the other unknown civs.



(2) Message pop-ups

I really don't like how simultaneous messages are handled. I get the information that my research is finished, I click on the empty research field in order to get to the research screen and then this screen gets an overlay saying something about population growth. It would be nice if this could be handled one after another.



(3) Alert for unused resources

Would it be possible to expand these alerts? At the moment they only work if an activated booster is no longer active. But if I collect a completely new resource and after some time I have enough to activate it there is no message. It's not so much fun to constantly have to check the screen where the amount of resources is shown. Most of the time I miss the point where I could use the new resource by a few turns.



(4) Hero names

I think this was already written somewhere in the forums. The HeroName I, II, III looks very strange in a game that puts so much emphasis on immersion.



I hope you consider these points not as whining, this game is one of my favourite games. Just some ideas for a final polish.
