Just wondering if anybody else noticed this - when another civ bombards me with a ranged attack (let's say a catapult), I hear the noise but it doesn't center on where it's happening. Wasn't this a problem in CTP1 as well?

Yeah same here , I just try to keep the map centered on the most likely front for bombardment.It's annoying it doesn't show you the damagee your unit is getting even if it's centred.

This is something that has been really annoying me. When I'm attacked or bombarded, it doesn't auto-center to the city being attacked so I have to go and check all of my cities to check which one it was. Sometimes if a unit dies I'll see a little blip of that figure on the bottom portion of my screen (saw this for the first time today when I increased resolution to the max 1280x1024 (or whatever it is!)). I've made sure all the right things are checked in my options. To me this ranks above a minor problem.

i have noticed the noises also but it never centers on the action taking place. i must say that just because i hear a catapult go off and some guy yells in death, it is always two other empires fighting. when the action is taken against me the computer centers on the action.

i suspect though that later in the game when things get way complicated, the computer doesnt center all the time and you miss some combat.

Yes, that would be a nice fix for the patch. Mr Ogre?
