Long turns

[#1 Person]

I am playing a game. but unfortunatly my ally is sending large hords of men near my cities and it takes forever to end a computer turn.
i spend 5/6 of my time warcthing the computer move, ( i acculy timed it once 320 to 50 seconds about)
I looked in prefences no answer
Is there a way in the game or out of the game to change this

Try turning of "Animate Friend Moves" from the preferences menu

You can also press the "shift" on your keyboard during the computer turn...

Is there any way to completely skip seeing the moves? Because even if they're not animated, if they make several attacks, it can still take a long time.

After a year+ of playing, I discovered that like 2 weeks ago.

Go to preferences in-game, and turn off the animations you want.

what does 'shift' do?? what does 'shift' do??... u got my curiousity up... wish i have civ3 right now...

 

[mazzz]

it skips the movement annimation making the game go faster, hold shift when a unit is moving and it will go alot faster

3 years of playing only to find about this "shift" business while reading this post!
We never stop learning!!!

(on the other hand, i usually like to watch what the AI's are doing...)

LOL, one time I had a huge-ass long turn. It must have taken ten minutes or so. The Egyptians were attacking the Babylonians' four cities. They had must have been fifty or sixty standing trooops and they took out all four cities in one turn. It was particularly annoying because not everything was railroaded and the game was slowed down when they were going from railroad to road.

Now that is what i call awesome!
Never had the chance to see that much of an AI military concentration in my games! (most of them end early in the modern era)

I also leant this "shift thing" today. We never stop learning my friend .

What does Shift do? Just stop showing all computer moves?

BTW, I reccomend to leave "See Enemy Moves" on but turn "See Friend Moves" off in a war situation. I learned that the hard way, when Egypt (my ally) moved 20 minutes worth of troops through my territory, but then I missed the important enemy moves while I visted the bathroom.

Sigh... I too just learned about the shift key. The shift key in civ, that is!
