It seems like Endless Space 2 really slows down towards the end game. Might the game benefit from a database and/or indexing to improve performance? Rather than large arrays and lots of XML? 


I really don't think it's video card based at that point. Perhaps the Devs could share what they are doing to improve the performance of the game and why it's so slow  at the end game. I know it's a work in progress but it'd be nice to know what's going on. I know the game is complex and I love Endless Space 2.
