First of all, I have to say that I play CiV more than two years on my laptop and I have never experienced any problems. When I have clicked the 'end turn' button, I have always waited ~3 seconds at most in some extreme cases. But in my last game, I am not able to get to the next turn. If I click the 'end turn' button, the message 'waiting for other civilizations' stays there forever (I waited several hours) although the game does not crash to windows. I admit that it is in the modern era, there are many wars (as you can see in the screenshot) and every civilization has a ton of modern units.

If I load another game or start a new one, everything works properly.

My computer: Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit, RAM 4 GB, procesor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T5800 @ 2.00GHz 2.00GHz

I play with BUG + BULL and all the graphic settings in the game are set to minimum.

My last game is probably extreme in the number of wars and units but I would like to know whether there is a solution how to proceed.
 
After several minutes of (lucky) testing, I have resolved the problem :). The cause of the problem was not my computer but probably a terrible bug. I had 3 bombers in one of Spanish cities which was conquered in the next turn by Dutch. For some reason, this caused that the next turn couldn't start (although I have open borders with Dutch). The solution was rebasing these 3 bombers to another city. Then (after 2-3 seconds), the next turn began :). Was it a known bug?
