Description (last modified by Freagarach)

The I am too busy cheat code is sometimes taken into account in the tooltips and sometimes not. As that code is mostly use for debbuging, perhaps not showing it can be good (I have no opinion on that). Or not.

tooltips.js constructs the tooltips with data from GUIInterface in running games and Templates.js in the structure tree opened from the main menu.

Can't we get rid of that cheat code by allowing more speed choice? (I guess people had yet think about that but I may miss some elements).

I'm really against removing the cheat. The "gift from the gods" cheat which implies this cheat is really useful for producing minmalistic replays. If you for example need to build a fortress to train some champions or hero to demonstrate a bug or balancing change, then the one seeing that replay would have to fast forward too. This means he has to interact with the GUI (costing valuable dev time) and also has to stop fast forwarding before the relevant part occurs, which can easily be messed up.

Also fast forwarding depends on the simulation speed, while we might be able to select 20x speed, the simulation might support only 2x speed.

I'd be rather okay with not supporting the the speed factor in the GUI or letting it bug in some cases, as it is not part of the main game basically.

'I may miss some elements' ;-)

wraitii gives implicitly the idea to just use a tech (as the back to the future cheat code) which would avoid all those a addition in the js code. The bad point is that it can t be reverted.

Move tickets to In-game UI as UI & Simulation got some sub components.
