I just meant the part of the world visible at that moment. Not anything like turning the view around.

Accidentally of course.

How does one center on a group of units?

Push the hotkey of the group two times.

A hah! I knew the answer was out there...

Yeah, half the stuff I found in RON was using this fascinating method .

Is there a way to move a unit along waypoints and then have it perform an ability? Something to make less hassle out of moving and then setting up machine gunners.

Set the machine gun to autodeploy. They will set up the killing device when they arrive at the destination. If they make it in one piece.

When selecting a group of units:

pressing ctrl+shift selects only civilians.

pressing ctrl+alt selects only artillery.

pressing alt select only military except artillery, generals, supply wagons.

I think that's the default setting for machine guns and artillery. I actually like to non autodeploy setting more: when moving them to some place temporarily I don't want them to deploy, it takes some time for them to move on then.

Tab is very helpful. cycles through all buildings with tech available for research, going first to the library. Easy way to pick up any economic or other minor techs you might have missed.

Great thread, Solver. This should really help me speed up my gameplay.

Does anyone know how to display past messages from other nations? Also, is there anyway to make messages scream for attention? I just had a neighbor propose peace when in the middle of a toughest two front war and I almost missed it!

Sticky removed. Unless people object.

Maybe it would be a good idea to keep undocumented features as a sticky? Unless there is a compiled list somewhere else that can be referenced.

For the record, there was a good list of hotkeys and stuff somewhere at MFO, but dunno where it is anyway now .
