I can NOT find where to turn this bloody thing off! I know this is probably a silly question in the wrong forum and has been answered before, but I couldn't find it anywhere.

How do I disable that stupid thing?

edit - I've tried the sid's tips and minimize popups checkboxes and they didn't effect it. Honestly I'd like to have all those advice boxes eliminated. I know what I wanna build and having to click that box that usually moves my camera way away from where I was looking drives me insane.

Check out options and turn off notifications or popups or whatever it's called-it's the first option on the first option tab, I believe.

Just build a settler!

By the time the message starts coming, you normally have enough spare production that a single extra settler won't be a problem. You can save him for latter when a gap appears due to cultural expansion or invasion. The advisor will stop suggesting you build a settler if there's one waiting in the wings.

Turn off "Advisor Pop-ups". This disables the interrupt messages in terms of "We could really use this!". You will still get the recommendations in the build pop-up if you don't have a queue going, though.

Those have been annoying me, too. I guess it's time to turn off the advisor pop-ups as they haven't been helpful in a while. As a cute side note, last night I got a pop-up for an item (a university I think) I had just set to build seconds earlier. The advisor decision must be made before the prompt for the next item to build.

It keeps happening the popup says I got to build something I've just put into production....they're useless as far as I can see....
