[.915][Suggestion] QoL request: In-game clock

from Elemental Forums

Could you just include an option somewhere that'll post a clock in one of the corners of the main HUD?  Time management is always an issue for me when I'm playing strategy games like this, and just a clock I can easily check somewhere on the main display would make a big difference to me.  It doesn't have to be snazzy, I just wanna know that it's 2AM and I shoulda been asleep an hour ago. :P

I asked the same thing many years ago and some people replied that the position of the sun in the sky is a better indicator that you should stop playing.

I also second the need to of a clock. Even "Warlock" does not have that and I have to look at the time of the save game after I save to know the time. Very annoying.

GalCiv II has an on screen clock - unobtrusive and very useful - especially if your plans for the next day require being awake and alert!

Galactic Civilizations III

I think some clock to add in the game interface is one of the better features added to any game, just because while I like my games to carry me away, I want some visual cue ingame to get my ass into bed, and not forget my surroundings too much :)
I do tend to get very "tunnel vision"... ish... when I play games that I like.

If someone really wants to use the sun, let them turn it off.
