please wait....

Has anybody been waiting here for a while for your turn to end up? My usual time of waiting is around 2 minutes minimum on each turn. Anybody know how this can be fixed? It's for Civ III without PTW (that's been ordered of course ) and I have the newest patch installed. This waiting is a real pain...

Get a faster computer, maybe?

Civ is just a slow game, I think. There's lots of computation going on. It generally takes less time on smaller maps, of course.

can't be the computer I have a p4 2ghz with 512MB ram . Anyway of playing all the civs on large map? I play using huge in order to get all of the civs into one game (I like it competitive ).

For a huge map with all civs playing, it can be the computer, even if you think it is a powerful beast. Try turning off all the animations, that usually helps.

where can I go about finding to do this?

Right after the intro on the Menu Screen, click Preferences and there you will find lotsa options you can turn off. Aim for the "Animate something", while leaving "Show something" options on. It may help.

Is there a way to have all of the civs in a large map?
