How long to process turn?

[Crimguy]

It seems to be taking longer and longer to process my turns. I'm in late August, 1862, and I decided to time how long it takes from when I hit the End Turn button to when the "Processing Confederate AI Moves" message disappears (I'm Union playing the April 61 campaign). I counted 2 minutes 40 seconds.

Is this a lot of time, or par for the course for this game? I have an Athlon XP 3200 . . .

It only takes about 30 seconds for me but I am in July 1861 and bought a new PC recently.

I have a decent computer and it started about 30 seconds and then gets progressively longer as more units/battles occur. 3-4 minutes now in 1864 for 61 campaign. There are a lot of calculations in this game.

I also have an Athalon 3200. I see a similar trend as turns progress and similar times, 2+ minutes in Late '61. The AI take more time the more courses of possible action (yours and its) there are... and then it sneaks into Louisville.

It seems to be taking longer and longer to process my turns. . . .

Until I realized you were talking about the AI, I thought somebody else besides me was getting slower as they got older...
