Long waiting turns.

You could upload a turn with the amount of time you had to wait for the replay to complete. I'd be willing to download it and tell you how long my PC takes to replay the Polish turn.

A really cheap mod that will speed it up would be to add more memory if you can still get hold of it. Old machines cant take most memory used now but I upgraded 2 by using a firm on the internet & emailing them to ask if they had it as it was not listed. They found some & gave me it free just charging for delivery.
It is important to make sure you get the right stuff that your motherboard will take & you are probably restricted to 2GB or even 1GB (I am ignoring the extra 36mb) so 2 or 4 x as much memory.
Its dead easy to fit just unplug open it up & press it into the slot, possibly pulling the old one out first & replacing. If its not seated correctly when your done computer will not boot so just reseat it. This wont cause any harm, While you are putting the memory in to avoid damage its very important you ground yourself, hold a radiator or something or better still attach yourself to it with a bit of wire

You're probably right, I just think I have to much stuff on my computer. The problem isn't really that big with waiting turns. It only seems to occur when meeting alot of enemy units. I have the 5.0 patch installed.

I have had this issue but its just the large armies youre dealing with. Go wash dishes and clean up the kitchen while they are fighting.

Try turning off all programs,except the game,and play with smaller forces,say a coy size and build up from there.

It´s while they`re fighting that can take forever it almost as the game freezes and then starts again while it's the AI:s turn. But I guess it's just a matter of the enemy moving alot of troops that I can't see. I try to do someting else and just be patient.

Early on, i had some trouble with the frustrating game freezes,that could be devastating when you click to move a unit and it stalls,click some others, but then first one you clicked moves right where you don't want it to arrg!,,but that was discovered to be when hidden programs were running,like upgrades and scans and such.

Also,, i don't play huge conflicts anymore either,it's all about what your computer can handle,these SP games are not all too complex, unless you make them that way.
