A small suggestion

from GalCiv3 Forums

xD I know it is a small thing, but I would guess it is a simple thing to add. 

I am not sure if anyone suggested it, but it would be very convenient to have an alert when it is your turn.

I have played multiplayer in windowed mode and was browsing at the same time. What happened was that we made each other wait, a lot. I simply could not hear the very light and quiet sound when it is your turn.

It can be added to options to be turned off/on, some sort of loud and clearly visible alert.

"red alert"    :)

I suppose most people would play this game fullscreen and devote all their attention to it (To suggest otherwise would be blasphemy ;P)

So such an alert would be very low down on the developers list. Imagine also in the reviews if they didn't discover the off option!

You're showing your age there Achronous. Many "younger" people have a tough time concentrating on just one thing and get bored too easily for them to do this. Especially those hyped up on the many different "energy" drinks out there. Obviously, I'm generalizing here, but the trend is very easy to see. If you're not multitasking you're wasting valuable time! ;)

Ugh , perhaps. I tried to do that multitasking but I found I stopped enjoying either activity afterwards and felt really tired... Although I'm not that old!

The thought of windowed Galactic Civilizations makes my skin crawl.

Hopefully they implement this though.
