"Undo" feature
Hello,
my partner and I frequently make mistakes or want to make adjustments while playing our turn in later stages of the game. Especially while at war, turns can take quite a while as there are many units to move and decisions to make.
At this point, wanting to undo a move would require us to exit to the main menu and open the turn again, which would reset our mistake, but sadly also everything else we did up to that point, which can get quite tedious over time in long turns and error-prone situations.
Have you considered implementing an "undo" feature for this purpose? The game could keep track of which moves have been made in what order, and an undo button or an actual move history could enable you to undo errors much easier.
Thanks for your great work, we enjoy your game a lot!
Until now I was thinking if this as 'all actions' and this considered it infeasable, but I think if we limit this to 'unit movement only' it's possible. Where in the UI do you think this could go?

Maybe something like that? The first position is better for small displays.
@UniqueActive A workaround is that on each beginning of the turn, your game gets saved. So at least you can always return to the beginning of the turn.

@yairm210 There is basically no difference between the two. If you create a general GameAction with an undo() method, but it's only implemented for movement, that is the same as if you would "just" implement undo for movement.
The difference is that with the first approach we could slowly begin to migrate all actions to GameAction implementations and eventually have the "undo for all actions" that is deemed so infeasable ;) It's not necessary to do everything at the same time.
Closing this for lack of interest. It's probably doable, but I really don't see myself working on this ever, and considering it's been a year and a half neither does anyone else
