Turning Off Combat Animation Mid-Game

[BigShowWingo]

Is there a way to turn-off combat animation once you've started a game? I can't find the option if there is. And if you can't, that needs to be patched ASAP.

I don't think you can. You have to wait for the AI to complete all their moves.

I agree, it needs to be patched so people can have the option of not having to wait forever at the end of each turn!

There is an option in the "config" file to:

(in the [Game] section)


Force quick combat animations
QuickCombat = 0


If you want to try it, change the 0 to 1.

Haven't tried it myself yet.

QuickCombat = 1 don't work

 

[PieceOfMind]

QuickCombat = 1 don't work

Oh, that sucks.

The alternative is to use Strategic view, where there are no combat animations regardless of game settings. It's a good idea to use this view when ending turns anyway, especially in late-game on bigger maps.

I can't use Strategic view because Strategic view often crash

I guess you could modify the savegame file. Somebody should write a small utility to do that.

Are you sure that this info is saved to save game?
How can i find this quickcombat parameter/value from save game?

Thanks
