I think the game is paced accordingly. I think even on normal speed and fast resources, its fairly quick enough. If there was a way to increase the pirate raids, that would buy some time and change strategic moves depending on pending pirate raids and attacking other players. You would have to balance defense with offense that way. Other than that, the game is perfect. You knew it was a 4X when you bought it suggesting you know what your getting yourself into. Unless your completely new to the t

Oh ok thanks.

I can play the game fine except for sometimes it randomly freezes for a few seconds ,up to about 10 or so before it goes smooth again. And I KNOW my computer can handle the game on max easily. I also get the minidump error when I go to watch a record game. Anytime I click to watch a recorded game, it starts to load, then the sound loops and it crashes with minidump. Well.. my pc shows the error but the application doesn't actually crash but does in fact quit loading. I'm running WinXP Pro SP2.

I am growing to love this game. I bought it yesterday and went through the tutorials. I was amazed how fast the maps loaded after the first initial load. The graphics are really nice, sound effects are top notch. I do love the Empire Tree though its taking me some time to get used to the new and intuitive concept. I havn't quite learned what the icons mean but I'm gettin the hang of it. This game is very deep. Congrats on a very well made game!
