I'm ready to do to the CD what I was going to do to the russians, but of course my game has frozen and won't come back!
Let me explain...Big ol' russia is the runt of this game, so I figured I'll get just wipe them off the map and get their princess. However, we both have mutual protection pacts with the Ethiopians, so I declare war but wait for them to attack me first. I go through the AI turns ok, then i get a message box saying China has declared war on the Russians. I have a mutual protection pact with them too...but the screen just sits there and sits there and sits there...the music plays but nothing else happened. It first happened to me 3 turns before and I couldn't get it back, so i used an autosave and didn't declare war, thinking something might be different if I wait. But no, same old crap.
I'm running windows xp with 512mb ram, a 1.6 P4, so my computer being slow can't possibly be the reason. There's 16 civs too. I used to play with 31, but waiting 10 minutes for my turn got old really fast.
I also experience amazingly long hanging times when I found cities...it blows my mind...1 time i waited about 5 minutes after I connected a road to a city.
Anyone have any similar experiences and *gasp* fixed it/them? Please give me hope.....and anyone have any ideas how to get this POS from not being damn slow?
