      Wow, I'm glad I started reading this thread. Until I did, I assumed AP was like the old "Advanced Start" which gave you, what?, 3 or 4 cities already settled and some things developed. Didn't like that. But reading this thread I realised I might be missing something. So I started a game. I'm not far along but I think I like what I see so far. I spend roughly 18 hours on my games (the last was 24 but I was going for a domination victory -- and missed to a space ship launched by the Romans).

      Anyway, looks very very interesting.

          I've never tried it, except a few turns to see what it was. I like games that take 20 - 40 hours.

            Never tried and don't intend to. Maybe I should use it in hotseat games, but even then I prefer the 'pure' feeling of slowly building a huge empire. I've never liked features like this in other games too.

              yup

              it effectively camouflages the fact that most of my posts are spam

                  Always use it in MP, games just seem to drag on forever without it.

                  In SP I usually play without it. I'll sometimes uses it on a small map when I want to play a a game in one evening. It's different, amazing how much faster the available land disappears.

                    Accelerated production is for RTS fans and people with no attention-spans.

                        Perhaps my family would like if I swithed to accelerated production? And my boss would on longer complain about me yawning at meetings.

                          I tried to do that once, but after a few months I quickly got burned out!

                          I tried to copy and paste myself, but that was pretty messy!

                            Don't ASSUME and make an ASS out of U and ME.

                            I like accelerated production because when the AI often is too slow to acquire more techs. With Accelerated Production, the AI can at least catch up.

                            we should also know when to stop.
                            Only by knowing when to stop can we avoid danger." - Lao-zi, the "Dao-de-jing"

                              Then turn up the difficulty level.

                                I like X-Cel production in MP, not so much in single player though. Too much of a purist.
