Unit Focus įixed in 1.0.0.62! There is now an option to stop focus stealing in the options menu. This can be a little confusing as there is minimal UI feedback that the order has been accepted. This period of time is indicated through the UI with the button being greyed out and displaying "Please Wait" (check this), and can be used to do things, which happen at the immediate start of your next turn, if valid (this needs to be checked). In a multiplayer game, there is a period of time between clicking the "Next Turn" button and the next turn actually happening, because other human players may not have finished their turns yet. In the current version (1.0.1.511) this seems no longer possible - every action taken will automatically cancel the "Next Turn" action (check this please). Set up orders to happen out of your turn - see Playing Out of Turn below.
This allows you to change your mind about automated moves and still have your unit do something else that turn. The initial move happens immediately the subsequent moves happen when everyone's turn has finished (this needs to be checked). This option enables the players to carry out their tasks at the same time, rather than waiting for their turn.

In-game players may talk using a talk panel beside the Diplomacy screen. Civilizations from DLC packs may be played in multiplayer however, this must be enabled in the options menu, and doing so means that players who do not have that DLC may not participate. Maps like "The British Isles" (included in the Vikings DLC) may not be played the only maps that are playable are the ones with adjustable sizes. Multiplayer does not offer as much variety in terms of playable maps. Multiplayer is a simple term: multi- is an abbreviated version of "multiple," meaning "many," so a "multiplayer" game allows many players to participate. AIs may also be added to multiplayer if more players are required. Multiplayer is the same as single player except that instead of AIs, real people play against other real people.
