rotate camera? and other q's

[GoToParaguay]

1. I know how to zoom in and out - mousewheel is fairly simple, but I can't figure out how to rotate the camera, I don't have a numberpad as I am using a laptop, does anyone know how to?
2. How do I make it so that a city always builds previously built unit (i know there was an option for this on civ 3 in the option panel, but i haven't seen any for civ 4)
3. How do i make it so that after a city has finished producing a building it automatically selects a new building (NOT unit or wonder) and suggest it for production/starts producing it


Thanks for you time!

Shift + right/left arrow key. You can't rotate that much, though.

I don't know about this one.

If you mean make a build queue, shift + click on the things you want to build, and it will add them. You can ctrl + click to put things at the top of the queue as well.

The answer to number two is Alt-click. You can tell it works because a little icon that looks like this * will appear next to the name of the unit you want to repeatedly build.

Hi,

Shift + right/left arrow key. You can't rotate that much, though.

Try inserting "AllowFlying = 1" into your CivilizationIV.ini file. Then during game, hit "Ctrl f" and rotate and zoom to your heart's content.

Number 3 is just turning on the governor, surely?

You can also use CTRL + Left/Right Arrow to move the view left/right permanantly. So if you use CTRL + Left arrow and want the view to go back to the right, hit CTRL + Right arrow. Useful if you want the view to swing to either side for a period of time and you dont have to keep the shift key held down the whole time.

Kylearan's suggestion is probably better though. I learnt something here!
