how to [speed up EB]?

[Nobo]

just use the client ruler optimization fix... it doesn't remove the client ruler, but it improves AI turn times. For me, switching from rome.exe to alex.exe did wonders, too

for me: change the graphicoption in my system from 1024x768 to 1280x1024 helps a lot
(didn´t know that this slow up my graphic and gamespeed so much - the units are also much more detailed)

Sorry to bump this, but I've tried all of the recommendations on that thread about speeding up EB, and the client ruler fixes (maybe: I use the Alexander EB mod and was told it included all 1.1 fixes)... but the game still runs at the same speed it used to before. That is, slow.

Vanilla RTW runs very quickly and smoothly, but in the campaign map of EB, everything takes a split second to register, making the entire gameplay feel sluggish. Thankfully combat runs perfectly, but not being able to enjoy the campaign map as vanilla does makes me sad.
