Thank you sir for this invaluable service.

Is there a way to hide units which are locked from the forces list? Maybe its a bug but I tried the buttons included at the top and it keeps listing forces/units which I cannot move. It would be very helpful to see this so I can trim the list down to units that I can actually do something with. Also...

Would you be more happy if the tooltip is short and concise, or that a tooltip is very large and covers every technical aspect of the decision as when you can play it and what effects it brings? Remember that shorter tooltip looks prettier. What is an absolute must have information for a tooltip in...

Thanks for the replies thus far. I do appreciate it. Well, one example would be the listing of the decisions you can make in the appendices. Some of these decisions don't even really explain to me what they actually do for me as a player or why I should bother with them. Take for example the subsect...

I don't wish to berate or offend anyone associated with CW2. I am merely voicing a bit of frustration as I try to grasp a game I have a large desire to master. I do wish to express my concern regarding the current manual released with CW2. There are so many things that are missing which are preventi...

good time to do the laundry or dust the house. Makes me feel productive while play

Whats sad is that there is actually ENOUGH TIME in between turns to do stuff like that.

I'm very busy. The secret to processing time is not waiting but instead doing something else useful. I do feel sorry for those who have no alternative to staring at the game as it processes its turn. I've tried 'alt-tabbing' away from the game and doing other things and the AI does progress through...

Cutting my 8-9 minute total processing time even by a couple of minutes is less important than the quality of the GAME itself, which is where I think resources should go - and I would fear compromises. You must have a lot of free time you can devote to playing games. I apologize in advance if I ass...

if processing a turn goes from 2 minutes to 1:45, that's a 12.5% savings

Which IS huge. 15 seconds isn't much by itself but considering the 1600+ turns in a game that could potentially save you a little over 6 1/2 hours in waiting time. Now THAT is a lot.

I have a ssd. My turns range from 3 to 5 minutes with the first year. What I have noticed using "Process Explorer" is that there are very few reads and writes. But there are more writes then reads. Yeah I figured as much. I had checked the Process Explorer and didn't see much I/O activity. To comme...

Okay I went ahead and tried that. I really cannot tell if there is a speed difference or not. Checking the Windows log files PON isn't doing any intensive I/O operations to disk that I could see. Anyone out there running this thing on an SSD? If so chime in with how your game is performing so we can...

One of the reasons, as far as I know, is the saving of the turns. There is a 24 savegames, one per turn, slowing the process. But it shouldn't... My guess, as yours, is the not optimal use of the code. Ah yes this could be an important piece of the puzzle. Whenever we (my lab) run jobs that are har...

Hello. I just purchased this game the other day and gave it a test run. From what I've been able to tell... what an incredible game!! I LOVE it. I'm looking forward to spending more time figuring out how the game works. I won't go into detail as my experience with this game is very limited at the mo...
