Just to chime in, I'm an old timer too. I can't keep up with the click fest games. The Civ and MOO games have been my favorites for a long time. EU2 plays much more like a turn-based than a real time game. You can pause at any time to conduct diplomacy, give orders to armies, etc. The game...

I think I am better at Civ2 than Civ3 for a couple of reasons. First, between the two games I played quite a bit of Alpha Centauri. In learning to play that game, I read the extensive strategy guides published at the Apolyton website. They gave me a much better feel for game dynamics and how...

I am playing China, and got a golden age with a rider.

I'm not running OS X, but I believe that, if the GL is active and located in the city producing the wonder, one of the round buttons at the bottom of the screen gives the command to hurry the wonder.

You don't. At least not all at once. Command-click on any portrait to change it to that of another leader.
