Quick Combat

[Misterboy]

Can "Quick Combat" be turned on/off during a game?

As it stands, you have to select it when you set up a game. I haven't been able to find any other way to change the setting through INI's or whatever. This is a REAL annoyance for me, because I'd really rather leave it off. However, in battle-heavy games, or if I'm in view of 2, 3, or 4 AIs at war, I have to sit through a ton of boring combat that I don't care about.

I can't believe it's not an option that's available through the regular options menu. I'd like to be able to leave it off, but be able to turn it on if a game's combat is getting out of hand...as is often the case in late eras.

Let me know if I've missed anything obvious, or there's some way to alter the setting. If there isn't, please post in this thread if you agree. Maybe we can get the devs to implement this.

Thanks!

I usually just switch to strategic view before I end the turn. It makes the battles go by a lot quicker.

Hold on, yes, you can turn quick combat on and off.

There's a tuner add-on that allows you to change options mid-game (also stuff like disabling victory conditions and the like). Let me see if I can find it...

here we go.

if you modify the civ5gameoptions.xml,
you can add a <Default>True</Default> to the gameoption_quick_combat row and this will turn on quick combat in all your games by default (regardless of if the option was set at the beginning or not).

i agree that this shouldn't be part of the game saved settings and should be a menu option

i love combat animations but late game it takes to long and airplane animations take "hours" if they have somewhat of a air force...

Well, I don't like the dead time, but it's hard to see what the AI did when combat flashes by unless you're just watching it like a hawk. Too stressful for me, I'll eat the wait.
