Extremely Fast Moving Units?

[Verarde]

I sometimes have this problem in civ III (complete edition) where randomly out of nowhere, all my units (and my rivals) will move extremely fast, and just zip through their turns. Not that it provides me with an advantage or anything, it just makes everything faster. Which is kind of annoying. Sometimes, if I load a different game and then go back, it stops, but sometimes it won't. Does anyone else have this problem, and, if so, is there a way to stop it?

It is one of the options in "Preferences"-window. Press Ctrl+P in-game or doubleclick on "Preferences" in Main Menu. Select "Animate our Manual Moves", "Animate our Automatic Moves", "Animate Friend Moves" and "Animate Enemy Moves". Check that you have "Show our Manual Moves", "Show our Automatic Moves", "Show Friend Moves" and "Show Enemy Moves" selected. Then it should work fine.

Thanks a ton! Can't try it out right now (banned for the day), but will do so tomorrow. Also, knowing Ctrl+P opens preferences in game really helps.

It may also be that you are holding down Shift or have caps lock toggled... try those.

Yeah, just realized the other day that it was caps lock. it is my younger brother. whenever he plays he has a habit of hitting caps lock when he wants to hold down shift for the production queue, and his units start moving fast.
