Civ Specific Jargon
OK, here's my contribution to the civ lingo, for the truly "in the know" gamers...


#1 - Finger Fart (Oh $H1T!!!!!!! I didn't want him to go there!! AGGHHHH!!!!) or (NO...NO...I hit enter to close the freakin' city window, not to advance the turn! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!)

I can especially relate to the 2nd def.
Pressing a key should not advance the turn if there is a window in front -- I don't care what key I press, and I don't care what window is in front!

The unit misdirection (for me) has been a little inconvenient and frustrating, but with the turn ending, I can't even check out my F8 (pun intended), F11, or "Save the game, do some city investigations (and I'm not talking about my own cities), and Quit the game without saving!"

I rarely Finger Fart (that I notice), except when it's at the end of my turn!

I can not identify with that problem I somehow managed to do all the other things before movung my troops, so that I would not even need wait at end of turn...

My fingers have problems on the numberpad. Very frequently I'll end up with a worker in the middle of about 15 enemy swordsmen.
