	Simul Turn and Mac OS Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

A bit of good news for Mac OS Civ2ers... while I still do not know how to flip the simultaneous switch for Mac Os... I was able to join a game today and play a simultaneous turn game. Apparently only the host has to flip the switch.

The game does speed up a lot, too much in my opinion. There is not much time to chat or negotiate with other players. I suppose part of the problem with this was the fact that the host insisted on setting the timer at 2 minute.

The message boxes (Your Move, Waiting on others to complete move or production turns, etc) become annoying because they pop up so frequently.

I cannot be certain, because things went by so quickly, but I think I missed some unit movements when I tried to check my cities during the movement phase.

I agree, I don't think simulturn is a very good option to use, it gives the first mover a clear advantage, plus the fact that it is annoying and stalls a lot.
