I can`t beleive that 512mb ram isn`t enough to swallow gigantic swap file at the end of the turn, with 9 civilizations, after 1500a.d. for example.... Some times I wait for 5 minutes for other civilizations to finish their turns.......Consenquence - I gave up the game. This is really a major architecture failure of the game. If there is some patch that correct this, pls tell me...
