How can I make them disappear?
Because sometimes my computer can handle them without a problem, and sometimes the framerate drops bigtime :/:dizzy2: :help:

The clouds don't affect the performance one bit. If you want to change them though, they are available on the EB website.

Those campaign map clouds really get wrongly blamed for so much evil in this universe. The campaign map clouds killed ran over my dog! They ate my homework!

I'm pretty sure I saw them put sugar in the gasoline on your car too.

Well if it isn't the clouds, what is it then?
One time it just runs smoothly the other time it doesn''t :/

Memory leak?
RTW will drop in frame rate big time after two or three hours play. Nothing to do against it except quit and restart.
Frame rate may also drop when you use up your movement points with an army, diplomat, ship, etc... Just move a unit out of a city and move it back in; that should restore the frame rate.

Also, look if their are any programs running in the background. EB asks a lot from your PC and if it's too busy with other stuff then EB will suffer. :-p

P.S. NL... Toch niet nóg nen Hollander hé? ;)

Also the rates might drop big time during the spawning of a client ruler somewhere on the campaign map... The amount of script that suddenly starts doing something increases vastly which is a good way of slowing down your PC if the entire script isn't fully loaded into RAM. (But then again, if you do have that much RAM you wouldn't be complaining...)

You may not be aware that the game slows down immensely when you give a move order that cannot be completed in one turn. Simply take a unit from any city, move it out and back in, and the slowness should go away.

Ja :P
And it happens only after the turn is finished, with the script activated.
Without the script is works like a charm, the script is probably a bit heavy.
