I discovered something!

Try pressing Ctrl-Shift-N. This should bring up a preferences screen that allows you to change what gets hidden when you clean up the map with Ctrl-Shift-M Are there any other features/hotkeys like this not included in the manual?

I discovered something else too If you Shift-Right Click on a city you'll get a pop up allowing you to change the city's production without going into the city screen.

I think you can click right button on city, a popup menu will be displayed, then you can change production what you want.

 

[Tomoyo]

Yeah, that's what I do all the time...

yep that's a nice hotkey, i've always liked the borders to show during Ctrl-Shift-M

Never knew this. Thanks for the tip.

I managed once to move buttons from bottom of screen to its right border, but still cant rediscover how, while map preferencies are reachable thru menus

A few games ago I learned you could change the jobs of specialists from the F1 screen.
Like from Entertainer to Scientist for example.

The backspace key does this. You can also hit the del key and get a 'clean screen', without the minimap and info box. Useful for screenies, I guess.

In the F1 screen you can also right click on the city's current build and get a menu to change to something else. I've used this to great effect later in the game when I have 50+ cities and many of them on wealth and a new building becomes available. I'll sort by the build, move down to wealth and then right-click on each to change to the new building. Very quick work of changing production to mass amounts of cities at once.

Tnx, Turner One mistery less in the world

I use this a lot when I've just learned a tech that grants a strategic resource. If you set everything hidden except terrain, civ borders and resources it's a lot easier to spot them.

CTRL-SHIFT-N was a SOTD years ago (Greyfox found it). It was introduced in PTW.
