26 hours 30 minutes ... Holy $#|*

Well, it's already there, and there is other stuff that is far more important than putting in an option to turn it off.

But small or standard maps, no islands, and accelerated production, plus some automation (governors in some places, workers automated, rally points) might do the trick for you.

I prefer loooong and detailed games, but YMMV.

This is the problem, while I'm moving all the military units about, and the bombardment takes soo long, it's not fun... Maybe I should turn off the animation...

But I do like the strategic planning part, but not so much the city managing, stupid stuff like when your fp city doesn't have enough tiles to work because the neighboring cities are using some of the good ones...

The other thing I was mulling, and am now putting into a mod is to make the military units 2x as expensive with 2x the hit points. I don't know what this will do to the AI but I'll see. I've also thought about making armies available from the get-go, but I haven't done it yet...

Yes, turning off animations is good.
In warfare, if you are concerned, turn battle animations back on so you can keep track of what the enemy does just before you end each turn.

That's pretty much the game, isn't it?

If you are not enjoying it, turn the computer off, wash the dishes, take out the garbage, do the laundry, scrub out the tub AND the toilet, change the cat litter, etc. You know: REAL LIFE!

After that, moving your units will seem a lot more fun!

Well, there's always peacetime: cleaning pollution, correcting the governors' production choices, confirming city worker allocations and ending the turn.

Well, I was going to add this as well, but I didn't want to rant...

But I know there's a fun game in there somewhere...

I wonder how the time is counted. I mean I sometimes leave the game up sitting there waiting for my next move while leave the house.

Ditto. I'm one of those "play a couple turns, do laundry types".
