How to see combats in MP (an answer)
In online MP (not PBEM and hotseat), you will often get a message that your units are being attacked with some sort of bugle-like sound. You are never looking there, so how do you find the combat quickly?
Press 'X' on the keyboard. This takes you to the location of the last message.

As if viewing combat in MP will give any indication on how it's going, or even who won.

Where do I get this from? I ask those who know (i.e. the programmers).

Keep hitting 'x' to cycle back through messages. Very helpful in reviewing all the cities that built something that turn.

Hey Warp, that's great for most Mp games but what about us PBEMer's out here, are we just screwed or can we get some type of playback to determine what the hell happened between our last turn?
