extremely long turns

[luzivuzi]

pleeeeeeeeaaase, tell me:
is there any possibility to make the game faster? i´m playing with a large map, 16 civs. every turn i have to watch all my workers and military automated moves and all enemy moves. this takes up to 10min. per turn, 9 of which i´m doomed to sit around and watch, doing absolutely nothing.
i´m a working man, i don´t have time for this. i play about two hours a day, in which i make ca. 20 turns and do nothing for about 80 mins. that can´t be it...
isn´t there any possibility to turn off at least enemy moves?

(my system:
PII 800
256 MB RAM
32xCD-ROM
ATI Rage Fury)

you can try the things below but they don't help much:

1) try turning off unit animation.
2) also shut down any programs which is runing in the bg..

actually the problem is on the game.. it perform badly even in a 1.7G com with plenty of ram.. but Firaxis is not gonna fix it in the patch!!

(if I read the readme.txt correctly)

playing in a smaller map and fewer civ is the way to go...

well

i feared, someone would say that. something has to be done about that. it´s soooooooooo annoying. *sigh*
