eat bugs!

from Stardock Forums
Okay, I've looked through the forums, the NG, and documentation, but don't see reference to this...and the curiosity is killing me.

I click the Foreign Relations button at the bottom, then click the Speak To button for any one of the races. Underneath the picture of their representative, there are three buttons. One brings up military information (who they're at war with, etc), one brings up economic information (how much they depend on you for trade, etc), but the middle one just displays the text "Eat bugs!". What is this button supposed to be for?

I'm not sure if we've decided what that screen is going to be used for. It's a reserved screen (i.e. an extra scren we put in so that users could suggest what to do with it).

What would you like to see it used for.

I thought of something while playing into the wee hours last night.

It occurred to me that, often when I need to bring up the foreign relations screen, I want to talk to several races, not just one. But currently, I have to highlight the race I want, click "speak to", do my business, click "done", and repeat the whole process. Here's my suggestion...

Instead of having three buttons underneath the picture of the alien representative, have four buttons. In the middle, the existing economic and military information buttons, and on the outside, a "left" and "right" button that would simply bring up the next alien race. This would simply save a few steps, having to exit this screen, select the next race, and click "speak to" again.

My two cents. :)

Hey that's a great idea. Let me talk to the guys and see if we can put that in there. I don't think it would be that hard to do.
