You can speed up the animations or deactivate them completely, which speeds up the gameplay immensely.

I'm primarily a Civ 5 player and my issue is not with quick movement or quick combat (both on, of course) but the actual time to process enemy turns. It's a 14 year old game running on my absolute monster of a gaming PC, but it's still sluggish, especially with larger maps with more opponents. I can't imagine the Civ AI is that computationally intensive so I've never understood why it takes so long. I'd also like more customization options in cities so they auto-govern better in the late game, which is also a huge time suck especially when going dom.
