When you had troops on a ship in CivII which you wanted to land somewhere and it was absolutely crucial the troops landed the same turn, now and then something very annoying would happen: your ship would just reach the coast, but since it was your last active unit your turn would end (if you had the option not to have to hit enter at the end of each turn on)and you couldn't land your troops on time. Since I do want that option on, but I also don't want to experience the above problem I have the following suggestion: if a shiplike transport comes into contact with land on his last movement either your troops on board the ship should become active or there should be displayed a window asking if you want to land your troops.
I told you it was just a small thing

An interesting point. I sort of managed around that without thinking about it.
