Trying to improve the game performace

[BlueTemplar]

I'm looking for a not too time-intensive way to speed up the game - I'm mostly annoyed by the unresponsive map scrolling, and slowdowns while accessing the city view - is there a way to remove the transition effects?

Otherwise, any other mods out there that speed up the game that I should be aware of?

Thank you in advance for your answer.

Sounds like your video settings are too high. One of the first menu, (F1 I beleive) is a city manager for the whole empire so you don't have to go into city view, IIRC to modify some aspects like the build queue.

Buy more memory... it's super cheap these days... $40 bucks to double my memory and Civ4 runs smooth as glass now.

What version of the game are you playing? BTS made some really big improvements in terms of performance, I can now set everything to the highest setting and not have any speed issues.

If not, you could check out Speed Mod, although that only decreases the wait in between turns (from what I know). If that's not an issue then it won't really help you that much.
