I don't want to be a bore with more performance-related posts, but I'm curious about the rigs that DoC players use and their experiences.
I myself have far from a gaming rig, using a somewhat older lenovo laptop with 8GB ram, an intel core i5 CPU running at 2.6 GHz, and internal graphics with, according to the website CanYouRunIt, 3GB of video RAM. I am not a big gamer but like to play civ 4 and its mods (especially DoC) from time to time.
I initially had a lot of trouble running DoC, but through several adaptations managed to get it to run without major problems at least up to give or take 1700 AD. Beyond that point, turn times become quite slow and memory allocation failures happen. I would like to get some comparisons to see whether people with similar setups have similar experiences.
