hi guys everitime i try to pass the turns it take an awful lot of time sometimes like 1 minute and 50 seconds (yes i counted it on the clock) my question is is there something i cam do to make the turns go faster i am running it on a windows xp 2gb ram and an radeon 7800.

PS:Sorry for any misspeling english is not my main language

Hi,

If i am correct Stainless Steel takes a lot more system ressources than vanilla.

I also think, that it is most important to know the type of your CPU and the speed of your memory. Maybe it would help to know both.

I run it on a Intel E8400 dual-core (3Ghz) and 2GB DDR-800 and it still takes around 30 seconds to end a turn. Perhaps that will help to compare.

I cannot give you any advice though, whether you can shorten the time between turns or not.

As far as I know theres nothing you can do, I have the Intel i7 920 and the turns still take me quite a bit of time, 40-50 seconds or so.. My suggestion, read a book- maybe you have a laptop? you can scroll.. hell even get some quickie chores done and such.. make yourself productive

Its mainly from the campaign script and the city and castle traits I have found. I re-did mine and I am around 10-15 seconds per turn. I'm on a Amd dual with 2 mb

turn changing is long but i would rather have more turns no matter how slow.

What type of CPU do you have and what kind of RAM?
It could be your RAM if you have a lot of things running in the background. Try closing everything unnecessary and see if that helps at all.

thanks i normally run this with everithing closed on the background so i will make myself productive as the turns pass just like mikil 100 advised.

At present I am running 6.2 RC3, with sub mods Crimson Tide and Burning Man only. The end of turn takes 15-20 secs. My PC 2.8GHZ processor, 2gb RAM and 512mb HD3850.
On 6.1 it took 60-90 secs, but include BGR3 and RR, so it must be these that slow the turn time
