Do you folks play with Accelerated Production?

Yeah, I know. That's why I wrote "It practically doubles your shield production."

And it doesn't only apply to shields. Accelerated production cuts production, growth, and research costs in half.

You sure about that? In that case, I guess I haven't paid enough attention when playing. All I know is that all of the sudden, the 4 turn settler factory build order that I spent so much time to get a grip on, was messed up.
I might give it another try someday, when I want a quick game. Thing is, I hardly ever want quick games. I want long, month-stretching games

No, I've never tried it.

I used it once by accident and won the Space Race in the 1500s, I was rather chuffed until I realised it was on, never mind...

I don't like it. It seems like cheating to me. I play Civ for its long, never ending games. That's the fun of it. AP just makes it all go away too fast.

I have never used it, so I can't vote I hate it. It goes against what I like most in Civ though.

if started to play the game with AP.. i'm so used to it now i cannot imagine when i shift gear to non-AP whether the settlerfactory will still work.

I don't Hate it but don't use it either. Maybe I should try it.

i'm wondering why so many of you love that month-long never ending game...
for me i love it but hate it because i won't focus on anything if there is a game going on...
so i either finish a game really quick (like 20 hours) or delete the game(the sav. file or the civ game itself) so that i can focus on my real life.. as far as i can remember i have deleted and then installed the game for at least 6 times this year.
and yes i almost always use accelerated production.

I use it when I have a civ with a late UU, like America or Germany, so I can get it quicker and push my competitors UUs into quicker obsolesance.

I dont play with accelerated game because this makes the game too fast.

 

[phatboyty]

how do u turn this on?

 

[Tomoyo]

I never play with accelerated production because the worker pace doesn't change! Also, six turn settler factories become impossible, as six is not divisible by four.
