Add confirmation when exiting to main menu from ongoing battle
« on: December 02, 2015, 12:53:51 AM »

I've recently accidentally exited to the main menu a few times when I thought I had caused the enemy to retreat, and lost some progress. I guess I could stop pressing buttons so fast, but it'd make my life a bit easier if you needed to confirm that yes, you want to exit to the main menu without saving.

I totally second this. I know there is a confirm, but there is also a confirm on the enemy retreating. I've done this so many times often leading to a ragequit haha. Some sort of warning buzzer or something (make it RED!) to make sure you know that you're QUITTING the game and not just exiting the battle... This can be damned frustrating.

Yep. The "exit game" button is - as of sometime in 0.9 - is a bright red to hopefully help avoid this scenario.
