Now that you are talking about this, a related user problem comes
to mind. On net games, it is very difficult to adjust the city
workers in a reasonable way, because of the lack of time. Each click
needs to be confirmed over the net. If you would change this, i.e.
that the changes in used tiles are sent/updated only when the window
is closed, both, this and the above, problems are solved. Is this
possible?
