Hi there, I installed the game yesterday and its quite nice, but what really bugs me is the waiting time between turns. This was one of my biggest issues with Civ IV, where this problem occured on large-huge maps at midgame. Here this seems to be the case from turn 1 - it takes 10+ secs to do the calculations. Is there any possibility to reduce the amount of time waiting? There can't be THAT much to calculate at the beginning of the game, right?

Seems odd, can you post your specs?

This happens on my Core2Duo laptop, but not on my I7 desktop. I figured it was a matter of CPU throughput.

I have an i3-2100 CPU (4 cores), I thought that was quite okay (while not fantastic, of course). As mentioned, I wouldn't complain if the game was slowed at say, turn 50 or 150+, but at the beginning there isn't so much happening anyway so that seems kind of odd.



On a similar note, is it possible to turn off the movement animation? Maybe that might speed things a bit up...
