After about an hour of play the game turns seem to go away...in other words I play moving and removing units , time passes, production happens, but no prompt to hit the turn completed bar. Then, for no apparent reason, the turn completed bar begins to work again...am I crazy?

There is preference to automatically pause at the end of the turn. CTRL-P, then select.

The blinking "Hit Enter" bar blinks when you have no movements to make. If the last thing you do in a turn is either Edit a City, Go to a monolith, or somesuch, the bar will blink. If it's moving a unit, it won't. simple, eh?

Actually, I'm just a pathetic Liar making that up.

I think this is happening to me as well. About the first 20 or so turns will prompt for an end of turn. Then it stops asking. Then later it stops prompting again. I can't verify it becuase of game emersion.

As Mockmaker said, if the last thing you have to do is move the turn will not pause and blink at you. If there is something else, or no units can move then it will stop and blink at you. Jeffery wrote above how to turn it on/off all the time.
