I generally start of slowly, so my first 20-30 turns fly by (just the way I play, I like to give the a.i a chance!). I notiec that generally I do the first 30 turns without reloading, as I do it in one sitting. The map changes shape a lot then. On reloading, the pace of change drops drastically, In my current Carthage campaign, Parthia has stagnated in an uber empire form after a massive 30 year rush at the start. It has not conquered anywhere near as much as it did, as my turns are longer and I cannot play for extended periods.
The Parthians and Egyptians started a war against each other, i watched it through spies etc for about 15 turns, and they werer really getting stuck in, with jerusalem exchanging hands often.
Now, after a reload, both just sit there even though they are still at war. the Parthians even broke of a siege when there was only 1 Egyptian unit in the city.

You don't need to convince me there's something odd in that, Given that Parthia had them on the ropes..

'Feature' my arse..
