I understand and > spoke about one, someone else brought up the other you fuckin dolt. The GameBryo engine is a pig IMO. If you played Oblivion when it came out you'd probably agree. But thats only a small part of problem. A lot of calculations do happen every turn. The game checks trade routes for each city and has add culture to every tile in the cities radius and check who owns it. And since we longer have a retarded AI that takes up more time. The turns on Civ3 got ridiculously long if you played a full huge map and that's a much simplier game with no Python.
