Viewing AI (enemy or friendly) movements

[lemur]

1'st off, I apologize if this post is redundant. I'd tried searching the forums prior to this, but no luck so here goes:

1) How do you turn OFF enemy/friendly AI units' movements?? I've played with the preferences menu, but whether the boxes are checked or not I still have to sit thru all AI movements -- it is almost as if the preferences make movements slightly FASTER than normal if tuned off, but they are certainly not turned OFF

2) Does the 1.16 patch affect/correct this?



Don't get me wrong, this is an absolutely brilliant game and I cannot stop playing. However, I will be forced to stop if come 1980 AD I have to wait 5 freaking minutes between every single turn... The friend who turned me on to this game gave it up entirely for this exact reason

Thank you, good people!!

I did see "Added "Show Our Manual/Our Automatic/Enemy/Friend Moves" preferences " on the last line of the patch description additions, but found it cryptic.. For one, the preferences are already listed w/out the patch, they just dont work!

The reason I'm hoping someone will respond is because I'm wondering whether to patch the game before I finish my current game (huge map -- 8 civs still around)

Bueler..?

don't confuse SHOW moves (what the patch adds) with ANIMATE moves.

The patch adds options for showing different types of units. Very nice. I can see it speeding up end game quite a bit.

I'd recommend finishing your saved game before you install the patch though...just use the patch with any new games.
