I think it would be neat if we could queue the movement of a unit via waypoints by clicking shift+LMB. I just noticed the lack of that feature while navigating with my first ship, that will sink if it stays in ocean water for more than one turn. I have to manually make sure every round that it will end up in coastal water. So just clicking the final destination doesn't work here.

The only thing that continues to bug me a lot from the UI is the fact that yields from tiles adjacent to a district dissapear if they are not being exploited, which makes district placement plannign more difficult than it should. Please, please add a way to see these unexploited yields, even if it's on the tooltip that appears when you hover over a tile.

Hey, is there a way to see how much influence penalty you will get for creating a city over you limit?

Once you're over the limit, mouse over on your influence number. it shows something like this: you can see that I got -150 influence penalty from city cap. It starts with -30 for 1 city over limit and grow more expensive (-150 is 3 cities over limit).

So not before you create the city? I think it should tell me exactly how much penalty it will cause befrore I create it.

I would have loved to be able to mark spots on the map for later. For example mark where I found a curiousity or lair and other stuff that disappears in the fog of war. Even mark a spot for an outpost after searching the territory for the best spot (sometimes no spots are highlighted).

Some points : 
- A unit was not selectable while being on a city/fortification, forcing to reload
- Maybe have a list of garrisonned unit ? i didn't find it.

- at exit the program often freezed (black screen) forced to kill it from task manager.

1. Experienced some bugs with combat. On my first playthrough after the combat the "preview" icons were stuck on the map, I only managed to get rid of them via save/load. 

On the second playthrough experienced the opposite - my units disappeared from the map, I was able to see them in the list, event to select them on the map, they were just invisible. Again, save/load fixed.

2. Played on the Geforce Now, and even on it the "quick load" was far from being "quick". Would be awfully slow on my PC. Is there any possility to speed up the loading process, or at least to cache "quick save" data for quick loading?

I love the new little icons next to buildings, indicating whether they are for food, science, industry, or an emblematic quarter/unit! It makes reading city production choices much easier.

Big pet peeve: I would like to see personal emblems (in the case of this beta, a horse for the player) change based on what culture we are currently in. This would make it easier to ID what culture our rivals have chosen at a glance. It would also be satisfying to see our emblem change along with our empire!

More importantly: I would not confuse my cities with horse resources! This was quite annoying, as it would happen repeatedly whenever I zoomed out on the map.

Good evening :). I'm Kevin. You are doing it awesome.
I play on a Omen 15-dh1076ng. Intel Core i7-10750H. 32GB ram. GeForce RTX 2070. It is a mid gaming laptop.

- Battery goes hell and can be used as a room heater haha. I don't know if this is a performance issue or just happen on all laptops.

- F9 charge the last saved game, not the quicksave.

- Sometimes map lenses get stuck when you exit the lens. e.g: Enter Religion Lens and close it, well, it overlaps the view.

Thanks :)

There are some areas in the game where ui is great and some that is super frustrating. Something I really like is in a city, hovering over food/science/money etc. gives a really detailed breakdown of where you are getting your yields from which is great. I would like to see it expanded to the overall money and influence I am getting, such as hovering over my empire money per turn and seeing which cities are producing the most, for example. Another great ui ability is the suggested placement for districts and cities, It makes placing districts in cities a lot easier. I did have a few times where there was no suggested place, especially when settling cities, and I'm not sure if this is a bug or if there was no location with good yields. I cannot stress enough how good these UI elements were, they were incredibly helpful.

There are a few areas in the game where the ui is lacking. Most noticeably for me is the city screen. In the late game there are so many infrastructures and units to build that it is really hard to scroll through and find the one you want. This was made worse by the sheer number of infrastructure that are unlocked in the late game. The sorting options help, but what i really wanted was the ability to expand the construction window to see the options more clearly. Similarly, the construction queue is far too small and if I had a lot in the queue, trying to scroll to see them all was very hard. The ability to expand the queue to see everything in it and be able rearrange it from there.

My final issue is that I didn't realise that some emblematic districts count as farmer's quarters/maker's quarter's etc (at least it seems so going off the wiki and my testing in game). This is incredibly relevant information that doesn't seem to be anywhere in game. It would be nice if the eq's had a description like "+1 worker slot, counts as a maker's quarter" for example.

1. When choosing location to build a district, the 'district color mode' should be switched on (if not already).  After choosing the district location, it should be switched back off (if it was off to begin with).  As it is, I will constantly have to switch this on while building districts in order to see best places for adjacency bonuses, and then I switch it back off again.
2. The 'show grid' and "show yields" buttons have an assignable hotkey, but the 'show district colors' overlay does not.  It should have it's own hotkey.
3. When placing a harbor/extractive district on a city, you'll get a preview of the yields it would produce.  When doing the same thing on an outpost (not connected to a city) you do NOT get this preview (and you absolutely should still get it!).
4. If I build a farmers quarter next to an empty hex which produces only industry, that industry is no longer visible when I enable 'view tile yields'.  I recognize that the farmer's quarter isn't exploiting the industry, but I should still be able to see that there is industry under there, as I might want to put a Maker's quarter on top of the hex later.  The best solution would be to show the yields in the 'Yields view' but have them crossed out with a red line or something to indicate that they are there but are not currently being exploited by adjacent districts.

This has been mentioned elsewhere (can't find it) but the science bonus for the neolithic doesn't work -- went through 5 sequential starts where I achieved the science goal (highest being 13 out of 10) and it never triggered the bonus for later eras (whatever that bonus is supposed to be).

Seconded! I honestly assumed the production yield was lost forever if I built a district that didn't exploit it, all because I couldn't see that there was production there to be exploited. (Or, more realistically, the science yields. I always built my cities away from science yields and tried to grab those with wonders because those exploit everything. Oops haha.)

Also, on the topic of wonders, it would be nice if they had a yield preview like other districts and outposts.

There is a very annoying bug where if you queue a units movement for a path that involves embarking, if the unit has excess movement left when it reaches the tile it has to embark from, it requires you to press skip on the unit. The unit should automatically wait for a turn and then use full movement to embark without needing additional user input. 

I think there should be a hotkey to switch to a unit that still has actions available. Currently I think the only way to cycle through them is either by clicking a unit and then use the next-unit-arrow or by using the "mandatories" button on the bottom right.
Problem with that is that it also automoves the unit without selecting it or switching to it with the camera, as well as switching to "next round" button when all units reached their destination, even if they still have movment points left.

There is no way to tell how much combat strength embarked units have. The UI should allow you to see both what kind of boat the units currently are as well as the unist it holds if landed.
