I know in strategic mode there are no battle animations. But how can I skip them in 3D mode?

Oak's right, there's a setting to turn them off for an entire match. In case you want to do that:

Set Up Game > Advanced Setup > Quick Combat

As pretty as the animations are, they slow the game too much for me so I always play with them off.

Though now that I know Oak's F10 trick (+1, nice tip) maybe I'll consider enabling the prettiness for some matches. :-)

  • After much experience playing CIV and after using Oak's F10 trick for many games. I like it better to remember to set Quick Combat in advanced options.

Since version 1.0.1.674, you can enable and disable Quick Combat and Quick Movement in the options menu. Quick Combat will do what you want.

Alternatively, if you want just to skip the occasional animation but let the rest appear, you can just click F10 twice in quick succession. It's a bit silly but it works, especially useful when aircraft are involved.

  • Wow, that is incredibly useful. Nowadays I always enable quick combat, but when you forget there seems to be no way to turn it on later (although perhaps you could edit a save). Winning a way by stealth bombing the enemy to smithereens doesn't need to take hours with this trick.

  • This also works in Multiplayer games if you are the host.

You can also change the Quick Combat option during the game. You have to use FireTuner to do that (it is a runtime Lua console available in Civilization V SDK). Although doing so is not recommended, I didn't experience any problems so far.
