Ok, I am having a severe turn generation problem even with the new computer I got. I clocked my recent turn (on the Parganos map with 1 AI opponent left, on the year 12th), and the "Thinking" part of the turn generation alone lasted 9 and a half minutes. This is extreme obviously and seriously hampers the game experience.
So is there anything I can do about this? Should the computer be "Thinking" that long?

The larger the map the more time AI opponents need for "thinking". I've played games where processing the turn takes 30+ minutes on new systems which were built during 2006. (example=dual core processor, 2GB RAM w/ 7600GS)

You want to use Ctrl-TAB... not Alt-Tab... Alt-Tab is buggy.

Any solution? I am very frustrated. And I'd have to say that the turn generation speed (or the lack thereof) is the biggest problem in this otherwise novel and excellent game.

When it's taking this long to complete a turn I use the time to get other tasks done such as eating a meal, visiting family, laundry, dishwasher dishes, etc., . It's actually more healthy to walk away every so often. I've played some RPGs and RTS games on the PC which are so demanding it's not possible to even answer the phone.(multiplayer)
Solution = Use Ctrl-TAB
