Never played multi yet, but im actualy watching a video on youtube and for any reasons, its seems like you can actylay abuse a glitch by fast clicking and actualy perform some action durin other players turns? What the hel is that?

Since multiplayer is nearly always played on simult turns there is no other players turns because u move all at the same time
fast klicking or first move is to fire with your units faster then your enemy at the start of a turn
what your enemy can do to prevent u from doing that is to do shift moves since u can't see them before the turn has endet.
how ever some players like first klick games better and therefore ban shift move so that u ondly end up fighting(til modern) with ranged units(crosbows) sinced mele units are just not good enough with out shift

- Melee units strength and usability are not related to shift moves. I can say that in multiplayer games melee units are much better than vs AI.

- Shift moves are often banned (as well as getting exp for units on city states etc.)

- Fast click play huge role expecially in duels and 2x2. Especially affected early wars. It becomes much less important late game. (IMHO)

- If you are very new to simultaneous turns, you will loose nearly every war to experienced players, however you dont need that much training to win say 8 frigates vs 6 frigates in open sea even against top clickers.

Shift moves will generally get you kicked out of a game though. so dont use it in mp.

As for your original question. i have a fast pc, i7 6700 ssd etc. i can usually do 3 moves before the guy with avg pc can do his first move. the faster u give orders to your units, use the hotkeys and quick unit advance, the more u can make use of this during a war. not entirely fair, but i suppose you paid for the pc
