Re: How can I lower turn time?
How big is the map you're playing, and how many nations do you have on the map?
The turn resolution time is directly proportional to the number of units on the map and the AI tends to recruit hordes and hordes of chaff, which causes this problem.
You can find a mod that disables most independents here. People who have tried it have reported a drastic decrease in turn resolution time when using this mod. |

Re: How can I lower turn time?
Reduce your graphics settings as well, I'm not 100% sure, but I think the game draws each battle on turn execution. Heard it reduces times.
I had the same problem on large maps (10-15 opponents), couldn't deal with the turn waits so now I just play 5-8 opponents.

Re: How can I lower turn time?
Are you running the server in a window? Or as a background process?
I'm guessing it runs slower in a window as it would have to deal with all manner of windows/graphics stuff.

Re: How can I lower turn time?
Actually that's something i do for long turns as well, make sure its in windowed mode then surf the web while the turn is running.
Sarvoth, what type of specs do you have for your machine?

Yeah, a watched host never boils or something like that.
