Moved to support.  Also, it's easier to read if you shorten your title and put the description of the issue in the post.

Island Dog... add the other categories to the forum so that we can easily create the posts there.  Right now you only have three categories that are visible to people:  General, Dev Journals, and News.  Do you know what am I saying or need a pic?

You can navigate to the proper sub forums by first selecting the "General" sub forum on the main forum page (http://forums.sorcererking.com/) and if you then scroll to the bottom of that page you will see the right sub forums: Early Access FeedbackSorcerer King Dev JournalsSorcerer King DiscussionSorcerer King News and Support.

I have to admit however that if these would be visible on the main page it would be convenient.

Trojasmic is quite right that it is an end turn button, but with a twist: as long as there are still actions possible/needed to be taken, the button will tell you (or take you there). For example if you have a unit that still can move or a city that is idle, the button will take to said unit/city instead of simply ending the turn.

Trojasmic,

I though a little bit of extra clarification was in order to explain the difference between an "end turn" and a "shafer" button, and in no way intended any ill regard or diminishment toward your answer.

I know what that button is/does, just curious why it has the name 'shafer button.'

Because Jon Shafer is credited with the concept of a multipurpose 'end' button.

Jon Shafer first implemented it in Civilization 5.

 

He is also using it in At the Gates, his game that will hopefully be released in 2015.

I am enlightened.

I read that as "Shatner button", and my tiny mind exploded.
