    4.2 GHz P4, 2 GB DDR PC-3200 RAM, Nvidea 7600 GS 512MB, running Vista (ok, so I'm too lazy to go back to XP).

    - installed EB
    - hit End Turn
    - waited ~15 seconds, which isn't bad, actually
    - started the script
    - saw the crazy campaign map lag kick in
    - uninstalled

    Maybe I'll give it another try when I have a better computer (or when the EB team gets around to optimizing their script, instead of rellying on script generators so much).

    that lag happens when a unit on the campaign map has ran out of movement points and you select it to move (red arrow line). it will stop when you select any unit that still has movement points and move it. I know it is a work around but it works 100%. have fun.

    Ahem!

    I have already noted this elsewhere twice - but I really feel it hasn't been taken notice of sufficiently.

    The EBBS: Increase Scroll Speed modification in the sub-forum has increased my scroll speed so much, that scrolling on the campaign map is like scrolling on the Desktop.
    Something I did not even receive in Vanilla.

    In addition, my turn times are less than 20 seconds, (Provided you remember that after 2 hours things slow down again - because of memory loss), and even battles load much faster - I no longer wait staring at the two armies zoomed in for a minute before loading.

    There isn't any major surgery involved, though the script is cut from approx. 12 to 6MB, there isn't any difference in gameplay besides the difference in Client Rulers, (explained properly in the official thread), and of course, 6x speeds...

    So all of you, please, download the script.

    For those who love multiplayer, fear not, this affects only singleplayer, and will not stop you from joining MP games.

    Pooping time is usually measured in Newspaper sheets.

    How many can you read before you're all done Gertrude?

    (Finished spamming as of now.)

    No major surgery? With half of script cut out, damn I hope I never will have such minor surgery done :)

    6x speeds? In my experience, only 50% quicker.
    Anyway check out EB 1.1 fixes soon there will be EBBS file that should cut your wait times by 40% to 50% without removing Client rulers script.

    Read the background script with a text editor for why it's a minor change.
