It seems like we have taken a step backward as far as smoothness of play. I am back to playing with no problems for 30 to 35 turns, then everything starts dragging. Finally, turns are taking so long, when the turn lights up I have to hit escape, save, escape and exit. I had hoped we had seen the last of that a while back. Now, I have to either wait while for Gal Civ to unload, or open task manager and physically shut down the process to restart and play again for another 20 to 30 turns.
