Blue Arrows

<r> Just installed TOAW IV<br/>
<br/>
After executing the first turn (but not before it executed) there are now "blue arrows" connecting various hexes on the map. Also the game now takes a long time (several seconds) to respond to mouse clicks during my turn. <br/>
<br/>
These blue arrows and ...

Command Line Switches

Some Matrix games have command line switches that allow you to skip the initial video introductions and go straight to the game.

Are there any such switches for GGWBTS?

Thanks
