Default Attack 'from' and 'to' to prevent errors.

Suggestion Idea:
Make the first entry for the attack from and to dropdowns be a default value to prevent attack errors.

Specifics:
Instead of choosing the first in your list of available countries to attack from and to during your attack phase, the first entry in each list would be a nonfunctional default value like 'choose location'. This way, when beginning any attack, players would have to choose the proper location to and from to prevent any issues. This option could be toggled on your account if you feel it is not needed.

Why it is needed:
The 'from' and 'to' are autopopulated based on your armies and attack locations, but if you choose incorrectly for whatever reason, you can easily mess up your attack strategy. I've found I've inadverently choose to attack again before I even realized that I was done on the previous attack locations (failing or moving forward with no advancement possible) and the next ones had come up automatically. It would be nice to have the option to slow down and choose exactly what I want for each round of attacks I initiate. If you run out of armies to attack with, it should default back to top of the list and the nonfunctional 'choose' entry so indicate you need to choose a new location.

It might not be for all people, which is why I suggest it be an option.

Just an idea.

As you said, all people may not like it- I don't think I would use it- but it is a GRAET idea, man.

I agree... But, if it was toggle-able, it would be a nice feature.

I am aghast at such logic!

Sounds like a good idea as an optional thing.

Actually, your attack from territory is the one you last deployed to. The attack to is the 1st enemy alphabetically you can attack. Typically, one deploys where they're going to attack from.

As an option, maybe. We could use it. But low priotity.

What I really would like to see that option used for, is when you need to choose how many armies you need to move. Right now, the default value is the highest, and it's not always what you want to do.

I am HEAVILY in favor of this suggestion. And not just as an option either.
