Problem with user-created maps in conquests

[Kudos]

I downloaded a few maps from the User-created map forum on this site. I'm experiencing this problem where whenever I'm playing one of these maps it takes forever to complete a turn. I dont use extravegent amounts of civs, max 16, and I've tried it with as low as 4, but it still takes upwards to 1 minute to complete a turn! Sometimes it just hangs and the task manager shows it as 'not responding'.

This never happens in a regular random map game. I can play 16 civs on a huge map and even in the late ages it takes almost no time at all to complete a turn.

anyone know how to fix this?

Strange which maps did you play?

I've tried both conquest-world maps that are posted in the forums directory of conquest maps thread.

I tried the Italy map and it seemed to work fine. Maybe a setting or something is changed on the world maps? I never do any editing so I wouldn't know where to start, anyone have any ideas?

How big are the maps you are playing? Anything larger than standard (100 x 100) or so starts to increase the time between turns exponentially.
