First off, im new to this forum. So its nice to meet you all.

My problem is whatthe title says- Lag between turns. Whenever i have more than 5 Civs in one game (including me)about turn 50, the game begins to lag. It takes about 5 secconds to "Wait for other players" between turns, and about 10 is i research something.

This is really annoying, since i cant seem to get into a big enough game without laging.

I also want to try and play Rhy's and Fall of Civilization mod, but i cant about about turn 20, due to the large number of civs.

Is there anyway to reduce the lag? Its not like im playing on a old computer either, its brand new (about 3 months old, i that) and i AM able to play large, detailed games on it otherwise with no problem.

It is a laptop however, will that affect it?

CS:1203 IP:027f OP: 63 74 28 29 3b Choose 'Close' to terminate the application

I can then choose to 'Close' which ends the program, or click 'Ignore' which also closes the program.

Im installing the Windows update now... but im not sure how thats going to help... :confused:
