btw, it seemed to take longer this time to get it to perform poorly, and the between turn aspect didn't seem as bad. This time I was only building roads. Last time I was building buildings in all of my towns and doing other game type stuff. Tonight I was just trying to get some more specific info for you. IIRC, the lag was between the time I hit end turn and when the various dialog boxes would popup saying that such and such was built.

I just tried again because its been a few days. The first time it crashed, but there was no memory dump :( The second time, I started to notice a slight slow down around 7 cities connected by caravan, by 10 it was slow enough that it wasn't playable in terms of it being fun. When pressing the end turn button it stayed yellowish for between 0.5-1 seconds, which isn't bad, but the graphic animations become very jerky/jumpy and after the 10th city the soveign's icon was sta

Yes, I see the caravans move. There is a bit of a lag after the turn as it increases, but they do move.

I had the same experience, including problems getting the screen grab and then it crashed. I tried submitting through the fogbugz site, but the bug report was hanging so I gave up. What I noticed was that the spider appeared at one location, while it really was located at the position diagonally adjacent to it. If I selected to the spider it highlighted the other tile, and if I moved to the other tile it would engage in combat. To me it didn't appear in between tiles

Caravans are not scaling well. As I hooked cities up together the game was getting much slower. After six or seven cities connected together I was noticing a several second lag during/after each turn.
