This might be a dumb question, but is there any way of receiving more  obvious notification when a unit or buidling is completed (as in Civ 5  or Galciv 2 when the little messages drop down the right hand side of  the screen).  I often end up constructing/training stuff and then  forgetting about it, especially when I have a large number of  settlements and when automatic next turn is switched on. I then end up with units sitting around for several turns doing nothing (especially annoying with pioneers). It's only a  small thing, but it really spoils my enjoyment of the game.
I  know that I could keep opening the city view list to check, but this is a major  hassle. I also find it very difficult to read this kind of infromation  off the empire tree. Generally, I think that the empire tree is more  suited to an RTS like SOSE (where there's a greater need to select units quickly) than it is in a turn based game like EWOM.
I'm keeping my faith with this game, though I must admit that I'm mostly playing Civ 5 at the moment.
