Hello everyone. I feel I have a pretty solid grasp on how to win on Emperor. I generally play a Standard Size/Speed Pangea map (with all other settings at default). However, I find my games to take a long amount of time to play (but wouldn't want to change the game settings). I tend to micromanage pretty heavily. I generally end up in the city screen for every city every turn. This is reasonable at the beginning of the game, but once I get above 6 cities, it starts to take too much time. I tried using the F1 menu, but for the time being I am just more comfortable in the city screen (but that is something I intend to force myself into using instead).
I also micromanage my workers pretty heavily (trying never to waste a turn of movement when an improvement can be done along the way). It certainly helps me, but it does slow down gameplay some.
Are there any tips people can give to speed up my gameplay? I am unfamiliar with some of the game features (I just recently found out about the ability to use drawing tools inside the game). Are there any ways to set notifications for certain events? Can I flag certain cities 1 turn before/immediately after they grow? Can I be notified when a unit is whippable/buyable? Is there anything about the F1 screen I may not be aware of? Can newly produced military units automatically be set to go to a certain location? Any other tips?
Thanks a lot.
