We all explore, cash, and run bulk turns. We all have to scroll down, or press END to get to the bottom of the page... Can we get just a quick summary of everything that happened during those turns? Basically make a 'short mode' and 'long mode'. I don't need to investigate every turn, but I guess if I wanted to, I should be able to.. just add up the net gains/losses, etc for the amount of turns ran and give a blurb about important things. maybe use icons (with tool tips) as counters for events like tax rebates, worker strikes, etc.

Yea, I've been thinking about how to do this for a while; the question is, do we send *alllll* that data and just *hide* it, or do we just briefly (5 minutes? 10 minutes?) cache the data (somehow??), and fetch it via AJAX....


But yes, I agree!
Finally did the signature thing.

Please don't summarize anything that takes 3 or less turns to run. (3 turns for a Demo to attack, or to market recall).
