The interface also allows a clearer management of the activities of the individual buildings, showing the production queue clearly on the screen through icons. Incidentally, field work can now be automated and there is no need to restart it every time a crop cycle ends. Another welcome simplification is that of production, both economic and of units. For example, now there is no longer the risk of selecting citizens together with the army, sending them to die in war, since the system takes care of distinguishing them automatically, excluding non-combat units from multiple selections.
