What the hell is up with Dominions 3???

10 mins a turn in the first 5 turns of Dom2 means they don't know what they should do. You just have to fill a recruiting queue, change a couple tax sliders, modify one or 2 armies, possibly a couple scripts, and move your 1-2 armies.
Less than 2 minutes for me since after my first 20 games

While I would personally agree, and have about the same speed taking those first few turns, these are experienced players, regulars on the forums and in the blitz games. I have pretty much no clue why the first turn or two could possibly take so long, but... shrug It's like they're scripting their mages before they have any.
