@jakob187: fwiw, I'm 99% sure the Civ V multiplayer has animations, but they're turned off by default because it assumes more experienced players would want to skip them to save time. If you go into the advanced options when starting the match, there's an option called something like "quick combat" and if you uncheck it, you should have combat animations.
Civ V does indeed have multiplayer animations and I believe you are correct that they are turned off by default.
I had 1 fail. My launch day console finally died after 5 years of use (even made a trip to Iraq and back). Bought a black elite which still works then bought a black S, which also still works.
