Speeding up battles

[ioticus]

I agree. A speed up option would be very nice. In one very long siege vs. an enemy pretender, for example, I won and the enemy pretender died, but I missed exactly how he died. The battle was so slow I didn't feel like viewing it again, probably multiple times, to figure out what happened.

I have found that turning off the background speed up the combat considerably, at least for me. But for the life of me, I can't recall what the keyboard command is to do that... "b" or "v"? (It's late, and I'm quite sleepy, so please forgive me...)

EDIT: Just checked it, it is "w". Zzz...

It's your money, but isn't that a bit extreme? Sure, it's annoying but

Its EXTREMELY annoying. Im thinking of shelving the game until it is fixed.

70% of the battles i dont even bother to watch, which is a damn shame as it is a huge part of the enjoyment.
It also makes the learning curve higher, obviously.

The problem is indeed that to play the game as it is meant to be played, eg as a game full of subtleties, with magic often prevalent in victory you have to watch battles, so that you understand the finner mechanics of dominions.

But when battles drags for minutes, because arrows flies at a leasury pace, or because the squads are moving one by one... Yaaawnn, its rather detrimental to the game.
