Wishlist turn speed

Due to how long it can take for turns to process, I stopped playing on maps that were much larger than 200 provinces in sp. It can be fun to play on a large map for that epic feeling, but it's a lot easier to play on smaller maps. If you're having problems on relatively small maps, you shouldn't be and maybe it's a hardware issue.

I'm running a Pentium D 805 right now (god I hate this CPU+MOBO), and at 300+ provinces, turn resolution takes longer than I like.

I believe the patch was going to enable multi-core use under Windows, as currently Dom3 will only utilize one core of your CPU. Unfortunately, I doubt that it will ever be attempted again.

Best suggestion is to start out on smaller skirmish style maps, and as you get better at the game, ease yourself into larger maps for SP until you find your happy medium between speed and scope.
