    Default Long waiting turns !!

    Hi guys
    Kingdoms Grand Campaign Mod is amazing and now after 2 years i'm playing it instead of S2TW and i'm really enjoying but a small problem ...
    When i click on next turn button it takes many times to load AI decisions and brings new turn, It takes about 5 times more than normal turns of M2TW.
    I know many new factions added to the game but this delay is annoying specially for gamers like me that press Next Turn button a lot and don't waste time on managing settlements (I use AI for that)

    So any suggestions ? Thanks in advance

    Five minutes, that is nothing, before I bought a new computer I would have to wait 40-50 minutes between turns!
    About the only solution for this is to make sure that you have the very fastest CPU you can afford. The engine is so dated now that it does not support multi-core CPU's, does not use all the available memory (I think that 2 GB is all that it supports, maybe 4GB with Win7) and does not utilize modern GPUs to the fullest of their ability. You may want to try an application like GameBooster, some say that it increases their game performance. You may want to check the tech forum for M2TW for a more knowledgeable source. On my system, end of turn waits of more than 2 minutes are very rare.

    Not mins !! Seconds !!
    It takes about 30 seconds for every end turn but in original M2TW it takes 5 seconds
    BTW if you think this is because of hardware i will try in lower resolution, Current is 1080p,
    I'll update my post

    Thanks Stylix

    resolution have nothing to do with long end turn
    if possible I suggest you try it in a i7 PC with 4 GB ram
    you can use the old VGA card you have
    see the different

    most of us here play and wait for more than 2 min for each end turn so you can consider you are a lucky one for 30 secs wait

    Yep, You're right, I lowered Resolution and other graphical details but nothing changed still about 30 secs to next turn
    Now i consider it because of many factions added to the game,It takes time for AI to make its moves, decisions, etc
    BTW this mod is amazing and fun, I think i can wait 30 secs for every turn

    Thank you

    First make sure that you always disable follow computer moves on the campaign map. Secondly using the no garrison script should significantly shorten the length of time between turns. When the game isn't checking whether every settlement is under attack or not it is much quicker. The large map and huge number of settlements also slows the game somewhat compared to vanilla.

    ...2 minutes and I thought a minute was a long time...
    Thanks for the advice Dave...I'll try the no-garrison script in an attempt to get it back to the vanilla loading time.

    EDIT: Success.

    good luck
    but when you get used to the game try back the garrison script it is fun to play and more challenging with it
