Long waiting turns.

Aha ok so it's just a matter of that the a lot of units, and I just have to be patient while playing these nations.

In the defence the AI will have 3 times your points (core value + supports bought), and for a nation with a lot of cheap units then there will be a host of these to path and then move. Especially if the map is large, and if the map is more closed terrain.

Also - if you have a slow PC then avoid using the "shotgun" pattern V-hexes against the AI since that makes the pathing for each and every unit about 7 times as much effort as against the stock 3 clusters of 7. (Game options, misc tab, set use shotgun% to 0, or in the initial set-up use the view map button (purchase screen where you get the option to buy your supports, in the cluster just above the EXIT button), then press the change V-hex button till you see a set of 3 clusters happen).

As well - ensure that fast artillery is set on, otherwise you will have to watch each and every individual shell of his massive barrages be individually animated. (In game, preferences screen, Fast Artillery = ON ). Then you will simply get a battery by battery animation.

I have Fast Artillery on. Also I avoid the shotgun pattern, I guess that it's just a matter of a slow computer and the AI buying alot of cheap units. The waiting turns are alot faster when the AI:s units is alot fewer.

Do the sensible thing watch his arty fall as it doesnt show in replays then go & do your mail get a beer or something & watch the replay.

Try turning off all programs,except the game,and play with smaller forces,say a coy size and build up from there.
