Hi there,
I hope someone can help me with this. I like to play WoC using all the modules except dynamic city radius on a modified version of the Giant Earth map. I am also rather fond of multiplayer and marathon speed. The problem is that after about 400 turns have elapsed the time between them slows down to about 15 seconds on single player and 30 seconds on multiplayer. Furthermore diplomacy screens can take several seconds to appear if the AI contacts the player. This results in a hearing the appropriate music for that CIV and seeing a frozen Diplomacy screen for a few seconds before things get going. Playing on GEM without the WoC mod results in slightly enhanced performance. WoC does include GEM 4.0 so I presume they are compatible?
A secondary issue is that during its boot phase the WoC mod encounters multiple XML read type errors. I can just click through them and continue however during the game I am faced with many TXT_KEY_BUILDING and TXT_KEY EVENT abnormalities. With the events it is particularly vexing as though I may read the event itself I cannot read the options. Instead I am presented with TXT_KEY_GOLD_LOST or TXT_KEY_HAPPY as choices and I have to best guess what they entail. This issue is rather cosmetic and does not significantly impact on gameplay so if it can't be solved I can live with it. The main issue is the speed.
I would like someone to tell me what system i need to have in order to greatly improve the wait between turns situation. I want less than 5 seconds between turns even in the late game. I am not very computer savvy but since i can run supreme commander with no issues I am guessing it may not be RAM or my video card. Expense is not a problem though I do not wish to waste money my main focus is on resolving this issue.
Many Thanks in advance,
Imperium30.
