Optimization of the engine

[Fabiano79]

This expansion have a huge focus on exploration, so playing big maps will be a lot more interesting than it is now.

I have a average PC (i5, ATi Radeon 5650, 4GB). I can play games like shogun 2 and Skyrim on high, but I cant play huge maps on CiV. The turns on the late game take forever to pass. Even large maps are a problem.

So, my question is: Firaxis said anything about making the game run faster or about the optimization of the engine?

No, but it is possible, seeing as the forest/jungle look strange for some reason.

They could have tweaked it a little, but nothing major. One of the interviews mentioned an engine overhaul, but it was for vanilla, not BNW.
