Speeding Up once activity selected - Civ3

[PSK1878]

Hello there,

Could anyone please give me some advice with the following issue I'm incurring, or possibly direct me to a thread which contains some advice?

I am currently playing Civilization III Complete and after I have selected an activity (any) for one of my units (any) the game speeds up so fast while it shows you what the opposition units are doing near your border, or your own units who have already been assigned tasks, that it is impossible to tell what's happening.

Is this a known bug? Can it be resolved by myself or is there a patch to fix it?

I appreciate any help you can offer.

Thanks.

Ummm, I know what you're talking about, I think.. I have complete aswell, so you can disable the whole thing overall, so you can't see what your enemies/allies are doing at all. But I don't think you can slow down the process

There is a key to press to toggle this on and off. You've probably pressed it without realising, pressing it again will take the speed back to normal. Unfortunately I can't remember what that key is!

"Caps Lock" I believe.

It is indeed Caps Lock. And holding the Shift key will speed up the animations while pressed. And holding the Shift Key while the Caps Lock is on will slow them down to normal speed. And holding the Shift Key while attacking makes my units win more. At least, it seems so.
