Performance Issues

The game's biggest drawback for me is it's sluggish performance, turns just take forever. Is this a common problem? Also, what component would help improve the game's performance most?

Processor: Centrino 1.6GHz
RAM: 512mb
GPU: ATI 9200 Mobility (64mb)
Free Disk Space: varies, currently 900mb (system partition) and 1.7GB on the other partition.

On the big maps like world, ww3 ,ww4 etc...I dont know if anything will help in a long game.

I do know that more ram helps somewhat, as does a vid card with more juice on the smaller maps.

Ive got a 3.4 intel
1 gig of ram
512 mb x1600 video card

And i still notice a large slow down on the larger maps, especially in long games.

one thing I would suggest is that you turn off the visual display of unit paths (hit shift-p) when your moving large army's that can help a huge amount.

My system is:

Inte Core2Duo 2.0Ghz
2 Gbs Ram
256Mb ATI X2500
And quite alot of free Hard drive space.

That handles the game fine at all levels except when there are huge armies.

There are a couple of performance hints in the readme file (for instance, the shift-P to turn off the paths as mentioned).

Adding more RAM would also be a big boost for most systems - moving to 1GB would likely improve things a bit.
