Nightlancer v19 prototype rulebook

I've been thinking about a change to the rules of Nightlancer.

It would solve a couple of problems, but would add an extra mechanic.

My question is: Is this an extra feature that will add to the game and just complicate unnecessarily, or is it a case where more features actually makes the game easier to play?

In the current rules:

In the Streets phase, players take it in turns performing actions. They continue doing this until all players pass consecutively You can keep doing actions as long as there are actions you can do.

Problems:
* The big problem that keeps coming up with this is a LOT of players miss that they can take multiple actions. It's stated in the rules and the summary card that you keep going until everyone passes. But for some reason a lot of people miss this and think you can only take one action. I don't know how to make it clear.
* It's possible that players will have nothing to do at all during this phase. Particularly for a player that has fallen behind or messed up.

My new idea:

Instead of cycling with unlimited actions, i'm thinking of a worker-placement style mechanic. Each players gets "energy points" (working name) that they can spend on action spaces.
So these action spaces would give players access to the normal actions that are in the game. Players would have a set number of them that they can do. There would be extra generic options that players can use even if they can't do anything else.

Advantages:
* Players with nothing else to do would get something to do
* Players with no resources would be able to use the extra generic action spaces to get back in the game
* It would clearly spell out that you get multiple actions
* Players who are in the lead wouldn't be able to get runaway progress, as their number of actions would be capped

Disadvantages:
* More components and an extra mechanic
