Re: How can I lower turn time?
Yeah, a watched host never boils or something like that.

Re: How can I lower turn time?
Hey, thanks for the replies guys. The No Independents mod definately helped with turn time, but I'm hoping I'll manage to play a normal game on a large map.
I admit I was playing on Glory of the Gods (480-122), with four opponents; in a window. But I wasn't working with any other program while playing the game. Gradually the length for turns got worse and worse until around turn 40 it was averaging even 20 minutes a pop... Yikes.
My general system specs are..
Intel R Pentium 4 3.06 GHZ
1GIG PC3200 DDR400 Ram
Nvidia 6600 256 O/C

Re: How can I lower turn time?
20 minutes? That does seem awfully excessive.
It takes 1000 province 62 player game only about 2.5 minutes to process on turn 15. Its a single proc duel core with 1 gig of RAM - a good machine.
If you want you could zip up your game and post it here and I can run it on my workstation (dual core 3800 with 2 gigs of RAM) and we can see if its the game or your system...

Re: How can I lower turn time?
Unfortunately I deleted all my large games, due to the extensive down time. I will start up a new large game soon and if the waits become excessive I will likely post my game here.
Thanks :-)

Re: How can I lower turn time?
One thing I noticed on my system is the virus software going ape during a Dom session. If I disconnect from the internet and turn off the virus program, my turns blaze.

Re: How can I lower turn time?
Which AV software do you use? If a particular AV suite causes problems, it would be good to know. I use Avira AntiVir with ZoneAlarm and I've never noticed any problems.
