I’ve actually played a bit recently. On the city screen there are two up arrows, one for hurrying w/ slavery (on the left) one for hurrying w/ money (on the right). ---

Civ IV is still my favourite of all the Civ games. Both the Warlords and Beyond the Sword expansion packs are strongly recommended. ---

> [@sohvan](#): > > Civ IV is still my favourite of all the Civ games. Both the Warlords and Beyond the Sword expansion packs are strongly recommended. 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](http://www.gog.com)). N.B. I have no financial affiliation with the site (I just use it a lot.) ---
