Turn Time Mini-games

[Adonnus]

Just a simple idea of a gladiator mini-game or something similar to pass the time while you are having your turn would be great.

reading books are good for you

Right on, this is what keeps me going during the ai turns.

100 pushups between turns.

100 pushups between turns.

lol thats what I usually do

but I only do 30 -> 40 because sometimes you got diplomacy messages or events popped up

I've built 2kg of muscle since Rome 2 was released. I'm thinking of starting a business creating customized training schedules for nerds, Rome 2 vanilla will be a core element. Thanks CA!

That joke must be as old as the universe. A for effort though!

I started watching documentaries on my phone while I play due to the excessive turn times, but eventually I would become more interested in the side activity than actually playing the game. Rome 2 has been a great educational tool in that regard. I don't know why they don't just go to ing real-time and be done with it.

What you said is absolutely true!! I just watch videos on my phone during end turns. Then I stop playing the game and watch the video and eat food!

The last patch has cut turn time to around 30 seconds now. This is on an ancient machine, with a 2007 cpu (Q6600), mobo and slow ass hard drive, the only decent element is a 460 nvidia gpu.
I agree that 30 seconds is a long time, but for me that is down from 2 minutes. I guess I'm lucky.
Honestly, it's rekindled my faith in CA and I think 30s is around acceptable. I hope the future patches help you guys out. (and there's still so much to work on!)

How far have you played? By turn 200 it gets back to stainless steel levels of absurdity on turn times.

Agreed, it keeps slowing down the more you play. They will have to patch this eventually, or somehow implement a memory wipe every 50 turns or so cause it feels like a persistent memory leak or some weird stuff like that

I tab out of the game and have a quick browse on the net!

[karamazovmm]

i use my mbp to navigate this forums as I play the game, its such a mismatch

[Deathcake]

I alt-tab to usually a PCSX2 emulator I am running in the background, at the moment it's Final Fantasy IX.

A turn takes like 20 sec for me.. even on 200 turns.

[BigHairyMelon]

Windowed mode plus Reddit during end turn times works for me. Although for the first 60 turns turn times are great since patch 2 at least they are for me.
