Simulation speed shortcuts?
« on: March 06, 2011, 07:19:36 am »
Hi,

I was wondering: Are there any shortcuts for directly setting the game's simulation speed to +10, or to +0, respectively?

I often find myself hammering on my plus key to get to +10 speed, and then again hammering on the minus key to get back to normal speed, after something has finished.

And I tend to find myself hammering on the minus key a little to vehemently, dropping my game speed to brain-crunching near-zero FPS.

Also: Lot's of germans on the board lately.

This wouldn't be a bad idea. Really, does anyone every use intermediate settings? Is there ever a need for running a game at +7 speed for any length of time? Really something that's just fast, fastest, and slow, slowest would cover it.

Also, time to brush off my German from back in college. Wie gehts?

Es ghet schleht! Der AI kommens!

Eh, nevermind. Personally, I wouldn't even want "fast" and "slow". Just fastest, slowest, paused, and normal.

Schattenzerstörelse!

Warmduscher!!!

That's all the german or something resembling it I could come up with...


To topic, I NEVER use anything but +-0, +10 and paused, I find the other speeds completely unncessary.

What on earth does Schattenzerstörelse mean?  ;)

Since I don't seem to be the only one who thinks that way about the speed settings, feel free to check out the issue I created in Mantis  :)
