    Slow Game Play

    OK,

    Been loving the game, up until about 1960 on Epic mode. There are 12 AIs and 12 City-States.

    I have what I believe to be a pretty sweet system, lacking somewhat on the video card, but it is a GTX 260 1Gb NVidia, so it's not THAT bad. 4Gb Ram, running at 1900x1020.

    Since about 1960 hit and I have "uncovered" some of the map... well, it takes anywhere from 90 secs to 120 secs for my turn to get back to me!

    What can I do, to speed this up? Are there settings I can adjust? I have tried a few things, but nothing seems to do the trick.

    Any help would be great!

    Thanks,
    baaz

    Maybe a few wars... plenty of units though. Its the year 2012 now... been playing on Epic, Huge Map for quite a while now.

    Don't know, just feels like things should be a bit smoother I guess. Anyone else have any suggestions?
