A couple of quick questions

[Paragon]

How do I make a ship attack "melee" and not ranged? Like a Destroyer with strength 35 I'd much rather just attack, but I can only do ranged? Manual says CTRL+A but that does nothing for me.

Also ships: Is there no patrol feature? How about auto-bombard each turn like in Civ4?

Is there an option to turn of animations, either in-game or in the settings-files somewhere? Watching my slooooow bombers fly, attack, and return is getting a bit slow.

Is there some way to see how much and which luxury ressources I have similar to how the strategic ressources are displayed? I miss that, and can't find it anywhere, but maybe I missed it.

Naval units are ranged only, so it seems the manual is wrong. When you set up a new game, the advanced setup lets you disable combat animations.

You can see luxury resources by going into the Diplomacy Trade screen and looking at your own tradable luxuries.

All right, thanks. As for animations, I found a "quick combat" option when setting up a game, but it doesnt prevent the animations while moving.
