Re: Speed of SEIV with a new system
I run on P4 2.4 (1GB RDRAM). I don't think I have run any really complicated games on my PC since I got this one. Perhaps 5 or 6 players and 40 or 50 turns completed. I'd say it processed them in about 4 - 5 seconds.
Actually playing the game isn't much different as I recall. My old PC was P3 733 with 256MB RAM. Moving around the screen and popping windows up and down isn't much different.
But, there IS some discussion of just why combat replays sometimes run very slow on newer (perhaps XP) machines. Mine runs a bit slow and moving it to fast action makes it too extreme in the other way...so, I live with the regular combat replay.
