In all game types affected, the faster the Game Speed, the shorter
the time between turns or production phases. Game Speed doesn’t
correspond to any specific amount of time. As your civilization
grows, the game automatically increases the amount of time avail-
able to you.
The Multiplayer Interface
Although most of the multiplayer interface is identical to that of
the single-player game, there are some notable differences.
Multiplayer Information Display
The Multiplayer Information Display appears in the upper-right
corner of the screen during multiplayer games.This interface pro-
vides information about the players in the game and tracks turns
and elapsed game time.
Player List
The Player List shows the civilization color, leader name, civiliza-
tion name and current score for every player (human and AI) in
the game. By default, the Player List shows only your information.
To expand the list to show information for all players, click on the
Maximize/Minimize
button.
A Turn Indicator icon appears next to your civilization when it is
your turn in a Turn-Based or Hot Seat game. In Turnless and Play
by E-Mail games, the turn icon is always next to your civilization.
In Simultaneous Movement games, the icon appears next to all
civilizations and disappears when each player ends his or her turn.
Click on the Block Chat button to block selected civilizations
from seeing your chat messages.When the button shows a speech
balloon, the selected civilization can see your chat messages.When
the button is blank, chat is blocked to that civilization.This but-
ton has no effect in Hot Seat and Play by E-Mail games.
Note:
The Block Chat button also blocks voice chat.
Turn Clock
The Turn Clock graphically counts down the time remaining in
the current turn.As time elapses, a bar fills the Turn Clock left to
right.When the bar is completely filled, the turn ends.
In Turnless games, the Turn Clock counts down the time before
the next faction upkeep phase.When the bar completely fills, the
next faction upkeep phase begins.
The Turn Clock is not active in Hot Seat and Play by E-Mail
games, or in Turn-Based and Simultaneous Movement games
when the Game Speed is set to None.
Total Play Time
The Total Play Time indicator shows the total amount of elapsed
time since the game began (in hours, minutes, and seconds).The
Total Play Time indicator is not active in Hot Seat or Play by 
E-Mail games.
