Cainehill,

Does that mean turn generation will be significantly faster with reduced graphics setting? If it takes more than 1-2 minutes even in late game, I am going to be very annoyed.
Then don't play on the big maps. It's nice and quick on the small ones.

Furthermore, I think there's a pathfinding issue with the very long times I'm seeing--it only got bad when the AI I'm fighting started marching large armies around a complex, probably out of the way (I haven't mapped the extent of his empire yet) route to get to me. (This turn I sent over 200 heavy cav against over 300 of his units. I lost 1/4, he lost 1/2 and retreated.)
Why should I not have the opportunity to explore the game in its full glory? If my recollections of Dom II is correct, you can't really get to the late spells and summons unless you play on a big map. I am not a fan of fast blitz-type of games, and if I did, I would play Starcraft online with 12 year-old kiddies from Seoul instead.
