Hi! Welcome to CivFanatics.

Sadly, you posted in the wrong forum.

Bigger maps take more time, that's just the way it goes. Only a faster computer, or fewer civs decreses the time.

its not a great computer but i mean it shouldent take this long

Well, I've been there before. Try slimming it (The Map) down a little.

It can also depend on what's on the map. If you've got lots of civs, all with lots of units, and with lots of harbours and airports (the game takes ages to calculate trade routes), that can have a big effect.

But this forum is just for posting completed files. Please ask general questions like this in the main Creation and Customization forum. Or if you've got a question about a specific file, better to ask the question in that file's thread.

Yes, big maps take a long time to process. It's not that hard of a concept to grasp.

However, if everyone is on the same land mass, it ought to take far less time, if only because you don't have to rely on harbors to make trade routes.
