I know there are hundreds of messages floating around the forums of different sites that are theorizing about this....  but is it likely or possible?  I would pre-order, I would early access purchase... anything to get beyond this lag that occurs on high end machines even with only 5 CPU players on the game.

Not looking for an answer to go posting on websites. I'm not a social media fan. Just years of waiting type fan.

Cheers!  And thanks for the best 4x game out there.
