Auto production/research cycling constantly?

[rayne117]

I have this super annoying bug or "feature" or whatever and I can't figure out how to disable it. Every time I finish producing something on the current turn the screen will jump from wherever I was just a second ago on the turn before to that city (and to any other cities that finished producing on that turn too) and the game won't let me out of this eternal hell of city production auto cycling around my empire like some coked up production adviser until I pick something for all them. THEN I can finally assess my situation and waste all that time having to manually cycle back to all of my cities and change their production to what I actually needed but didn't know I needed until I could break from the damnation some programmers thrust onto my enjoyment of an otherwise stellar game.

On the Options screen I have no "auto unit cycling" but that doesn't fix it. I have "wait at end of turn" on and it doesn't matter either way. So I have no ideas because I've been through every menu 10 times at least. Is there some mod to fix this poo poo.

There is an option to do what you want. The name of the option is sort of vague but if you mouse over each option you will see a description of what it does.

I want to say it is something like "Units move first" but I can't remember offhand.

If you can't find it, it is possible the option is part of BUG mod. I am 95% sure it is part of the basic game however.

I haven't tried this in a long time, but I think "minimize popups" might be what you're looking for. As I recall, this causes the popups to show up as icons on the right hand of the screen instead of as modal dialogs. You may still need to click on them before it lets you end the turn, but at least you can postpone action on them.

You dont have to click on them. They will auto pop up, but only after you have moved all your units. So yeah, "minimize popups" is the setting you are looking for.

That's the one. Least intuitive option name ever.

It annoys me that even if you give something for all of those cities to build, it will STILL take a moment to quickly pop-up then close the build queue for each of them. If you click at JUST the wrong time, you can even change the queue'd item this way. It's very annoying...but infinitely better than screen warp prompt spam.
