Long load times between turns

[grant2004]

I've been trying to play with a group of friends for a while now, but we continue to be frustrated by very long load times between turns. Sometimes even after the new turn loads we'll be stuck staring at the screen, and any clicks we make will do nothing and it'll take an additional minute or two before we can make any useful moves.

I was wondering if anyone else had encountered this, and if there were any suggestions for how to reduce the time between turns. Otherwise it's just one more item to hope for in the "MP patch" if such a thing exists.

Thanks,

No AI or City States helps alot.

Yes. I stopped playing with City States. They also havent optimized AI and city states and end game turn times.

Turn speeds seem to have sped up quite a bit since the last patch.

Things I have noticed that speed up turn times alot are the speed of peoples computers more so the person hosting it. Also try not to play on a world size greater than standard. Obviously this will also mean you can have less AI and city-states as well which will also help speed it up.
