How do you feel about turn times? (Time out:0 days after 29-05-2004, 04:55)
0-10 seconds (I'm so quick, I need my turn to come up so I can keep my strats flowing)
10 sec - 1 minute (Good enough to rethink my strategy)
1-3 minutes (I like watching the AI units shuffle about)
3-5 minutes (I really like watching the AI units shuffle about)
5-10 minutes (Ok, since I like more time to formulate my next move)
over 10 minutes (At this point i'm either pondering a degree in electrical engineering so I can design a comp capable of ending this mess, or i'm craving a banana split, so I leave to get one)

I seem to recall a toggle was introduced to prevent the aimless wandering of AI units.

The biggest problem with the AI turns is that they move every unit every turn.... and in circles.


Pressing the 'SHIFT' key also helps.

Interesting that it would be made into a "toggle".

Who would ever want to keep it on?

Ideally, not over 10-15 sec. I voted 0-10 since that's nearest.

BTW, is it the same where I place the aforementioned line?

Less than 3 minutes, in my games. Except for the sodding aborted Civ3DG - Deity, 24 civs, huge world... By the low BCs the turn waits were around 7-8 minutes!

And I usually have to keep watching the screen during the AI movements - otherwise how can you know what happened during that turn that you can see?
