When you're watching replay, press escape and then spacebar, all animations will speed up. It's probably caused by new spacebar hotkey, which works in pause menu - but it can't skip to next turn since the game is stopped.

Thanks for the report.

When I enter "Help" channel on WormNet, I see greeting in Russian, but there is a spelling mistake in it: in this case word "пooбщaтьcя" should be written with "ь" letter (actually, mistakes of this kind are pretty common for Russian-speakers). Hope someone will correct that
