If you want to have a less jerky behaviour, launch the WW1 Configurator tool (Start Menu > World War One > Configure Game) and set the "Security Level" to 2.
Doing so, every time the AI works, you will be informed immediately with the black window inside the screen.
During AI job, you are normally not able to do anything. You can anyway pause and un-pause the AI using the 'pause' key.
Thanks,

(system)---Using 1.8 ghz processor, 2 gb ram
(SETUP)---AI not using extra time, security set to "2" , have tried tannenberg and serbia scns, same result, 100% cpu usage...also tried with low end color map and load map fully first...same results , AI turn taking too long.
I'm sure you guys can help us out, I have faith in ageod, loved all the other games and they play great on my pc.
thanks

The AI is thinking alright, it's just thinking too much to the point that I can't believe it's supposed to slow performance THAT much. Even scrolling through the map is a challenge at the moment. It's just a map and icons game. As a point of reference I play Company of Heroes in reasonably high settings and my old sturdy HP Compaq nx8220 pulls through admirably so if there's an issue it ain't graphics. I'll just wait and see what other feedback comes in

I don't minimize the problems you guys are having; but they apparently depend on the system.

Are you saying I should turn off my internet connection first?
I did deactivate antivirus and I played offline, but the problem was still there.
I will deactivate the firewall and play offline - I will report back.
