Something that would definitely be useful would be an indicator if 'I' have given orders... As I've a bit of a rubbish memory
Just downloaded the new client, went into the games. One has all my family now listed as dead (as they have been for a while, but now officially so), one other I did all my actions as expected, the other two had one family member listed with an action, the others as idle, but I couldn't allocate any tasks to them (which makes me think I'd already done the orders for that turn, but not certain as it still listed most of the family as idle...)
