Campaign Script?

[Oldgamer]

Surely upgrading the RAM would make the game run a lot faster? Right now, I've got 256 MB RAM, and I'm hoping to add on an additional 1 GB. Won't that make a difference?

I had all graphics settings to lowest settings. Does following AI movement make that big a difference. It was incredibly slow at the end turn even for the factions I couldn't see (so I didn't see their character movement anyway)

I can't speak for anyone else, on this issue. All I have is my own computer. But on it, not following AI movement dropped the turn change from about 5 minutes to about 45-90 seconds.

Why not try a different campaign, and see if it works for you?

When it takes over 30 minutes to end turn, I think something more must be wrong than following AI character movement. Anyway, thanks for the advice peope, especially the info on the graphics card, I'm going to get a new one now, along with some RAM.

If you're using WinXP, it's recommended that you use a MINIMUM of 512Mb of RAM. Any less and your computer can get extremely slow, much slower than you'd expect. It may be an idea to wait until the end of the year when all the next generation hardware and software comes out before upgrading much more than that (a 256Mb video card should suffice for most recent-ish games). After then you should be able to get what is currently a top-end computer for a fraction of the price, or you could go the whole hog and get some sort of beast as soon as it comes out

That's all advice that I've been given, at least, and I'm sticking to it. Saving up for a decent computer now
