Anyone play a 31 civ game yet?

[PogueMahone]

I'm playing one on regent right now. Two things I notice:

1. The game seems to run out of colors and a few civs end up using the same one.

2. I am almost always at war!

Pangea on a standard sixed map. Got 2 large civs, about 3 medium 5 city civs and a whole bunch of small, one, two or three city civs that myself and the other larger civs have been pitting against each other and slowly absorbing into our own empires. The game has a whole different dynamic when you have so many civs and such little land for them to compete over.

That sounds like a cool type of game (so many civs with just 3 or 4 cities)

however, im playing with 11 civs on a huge map and the game can slow to about 20 seconds or more between turns into the industrial age.

i know some of you probably think that i shouldn't be *****ing about 20 seconds or so..

anyone have any reports on "turn lag time" for a huge 31 civ game?

system specs would be nice too, im running an AMD 2200+, 512ram

a 31 civ game will give you carpel tunnels faster than you can finish the game. just switching between the civs in the diplo screen can make your risk sore. Imagine doing it 30 times for a trade.

actually make that 30-45 seconds

hi ,

, but then again all it takes is closing what you dont need , the more ram you get the better , defrag , close down virus and other security , etc , .....

but one of the main points is the level of the FSB and the amount of ram

have a nice night
