When do the Marian reforms start? (spoiler request)

[Chester]

That will take awhile. It takes 3 mintues for the AI to make all it's turns (I'm in 226 BC). (granted at the start of the game it takes mere seconds, but builds on fast)

Not taking into account my moves. 4 turns per year * 165 years*3 minutes per turn

That totals 33 hours, not including my moves, to get to the marian reforms from the start.

If I spend 8 minutes (this is conservative to take into account the error on the assumption that the 3 mintures for AI happened continuously) per move that would bring the total up to 121 hours, or 5 days worth of Straight playing.

Is there any way to speed up the AI's 3+ minutes.
