The first few games I played of Civ 5 that went to the late game were cultural and science victories (or attempts) and even that was slow enough.
On standard speed, standard sized map, a Civ4 game would last anywhere from 3(super fast culture victory) to about 10 hours for me (late game domination).
I've been playing the same Civ5 game now for over 15 hours and I'm in the industrial age trying to fight an intercontinental war. The UI is making this unbearable. I'm selecting each unit 1 at a time, giving it orders, and the UI is flying me across the planet from one battle to the next. Like... I have about 3 theaters of war right now, 2 naval and one land based, and instead of dealing with them in an orderly fashion, the UI is making me move 1 unit in one part of the world, then flying me to another part of the world to move 1 unit, then flying me back to the first part...etc...etc. It's a real effing chore. It feels like playing a very old game from the early 90's or something, with horrible, outdated UI.
