I have never seen this mentioned so I thought I would in case I am not the last guy to figure it out.

You can use combinations of keys in the build queue. for example, suppose you want to construct a barracks followed by continuous axemen.

First select barracks as you normally would, and then hold down the Shift and Alt keys while selecting axemen.

Yes, I used the shift alt a couple of times in the build queue as well. Good thinking putting it up on the board.

You can also set up a situation where the city will continuously build 2 or more items simply by alt-Clicking the first item, then alt+shift+clicking the rest. When done, the city will cycle through the *list* over and over.

I use this on regular basis at a city that can produce units quickly and when I need BOTH offensive and defensive units. I haven't tried creating a ratio with the list yet. It'd be neat to get a city to do something like:

Carrier*
Fighter*
Fighter*
Fighter*
Then it repeats.

That way you'd automatically have the right number of fighters for ever carrier the city makes.

I am a newbie to the Civ world. Just purchased Civ IV for the iMac. Mac's do not have a 'alt' key. Would you know the key combo for a Mac for the build que?

Aren't all key shortcuts mentioned in the Civilopedia? Not sure if all are actually. Might want to have a look and see if there's anything in there regarding Mac shortcuts.
