So, my brother and I are getting back into the game after a long, long hiatus and we're still getting used to a whole boatload of new features. The Altar of Auriga is one of these, and its the one that's proving to be the biggest pain in the backside, not because of the pearl system or because of confusing unlocks or anything like that, but because the game doesn't give alerts to say that someone has prayed for whatever prayers are available on the list and this has gotten so bad that it has effectively crippled me during our latest game, simply because there's no alert or notification saying that someone has prayed for one of the things available.

Would it be possible for us to get a little notification everytime someone uses the Altar to pray for a different winter effect? 

In addition, and on a related note, could we get a key that we can hold whilst placing a city with a settler to reveal the value of the tiles without winter or events being factored into the numbers? Basically to show them as if they were regular tiles unaffected by anything? This has proven to be a major issue during our latest game, as winter wiped out my - Broken Lords - dust production values on the tiles, hiding them from my settlers, and the moment the winter ended we got a negative event reducing tile values by 2 dust across the board, meaning that I still can't see where to put my cities for the best event...and for someone who is already behind due to a bad starting location, that's seriously crippling.
