How to fasten computer's turn?

Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: The German-Soviet War 1941-1945 is a turn-based World War II strategy game stretching across the entire Eastern Front. Gamers can engage in an epic campaign, including division-sized battles with realistic and historical terrain, weather, orders of battle, logistics and combat results.

The critically and fan-acclaimed Eastern Front mega-game Gary Grigsby’s War in the East just got bigger and better with Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: Don to the Danube! This expansion to the award-winning War in the East comes with a wide array of later war scenarios ranging from short but intense 6 turn bouts like the Battle for Kharkov (1942) to immense 37-turn engagements taking place across multiple nations like Drama on the Danube (Summer 1944 – Spring 1945).

Also, killing most or all of the enemy makes the AI turns much faster!

Hello

No they talked about zooming out bevor ending the turn. Press -
to zoom out.

Hope it helps...

Now can someone tell me why zooming out makes the turn faster?

Less stuff to calc and draw (CV values, detections, etc..)

So to clarify: If I minimize the game to the taskbar then it should turn fastest? [&:]

This is what I`m running and the GC `41 AI turns are taking 20 min.+ to process at T 11...[8|]

WITP full `41 GC on a much slower system only took 4-5 min. for the AI processes and that`s gotta be a much larger Game.

Something is _wrong in the coding here and needs fixing_ instead of adding options and tweeks. Speeding the AI turns up should be a priority for the Devs. The game is unplayable for me anyway.

Do you have the multiple processor flag on? I run on an AMD 6000 x2 and found that it was MUCH faster to not have the multi-processor flag on - for some reason it actually ran slower.

Other than processor, my system is pretty close to yours.

Well I deleated the Game, re-installed and the turns are moving faster. Very odd.

Thanks for the advice on the dual processors.
