This game should have a headache warning

[Greyhawk1]

There *has* to be a better way to do the automated Clear Pollution animation. In large games with lots of pollution I have to look away from the screen to avoid getting a very bad headache.

I'm not kidding either. The jumping screen is just not good for your health. Is there a way, somehow, to let automated workers just teleport straight to wherever they are clearing pollution?

Right now as soon as the automated phase starts I have to get up and make a cuppa or do something else. If I stay where I am I always get a major headache after a few turns.

Go to preference and uncheck show automatic movement.

I remememer playing huge maps on a slower PC, maybe it's worth doing your ironing or homework between turns since it can be quite slow anyway

What I *hate* is that the workers always move across the whole continent... A worker in the west will not go to the polluted square only three steps away from his position, he'll go to the far east, and vice versa. I realize this is because the workers always go to the most polluted (=least cleaned) square, but it seems like there's some kind of Murphy's Law connected to the order the workers are selected...

that's why i rarely automate my workers. i only do it when i'm playing on a large or huge map with tons of cities and tons of pollution.
