Ok, I’m playing civ 4… I have universal sufferage it says I can use pile o cash to speed up buildings but i can’t figure out for the life of me how to do that?
and wow was this one a bit different than playing 1-3… I’m just laying the base game for now … there’s a few more
Yes, I still play Civ 4* as well (and agree with getting both extensions.)
As Snarky_Kong said, you want the buttons giving Hurry for Slavery or Hurry for money.
Note that both require your Civilisation to select a specific Civic (press F3 in the game to see these):
Slavery is the second Civic under Labour (opens Slavery option)
Universal Suffrage is the final Civic under Government (opens Gold option)
*plus ‘Heroes of Might and Magic 3’ and ‘Masters of Magic’.
The easiest way to play those ancient games is through Good Old Games (www.gog.com). N.B. I have no financial affiliation with the site (I just use it a lot.)
