S-L-O-W Game-play Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

I've had this Mac CTP game for months now and can never really get a game going because it is so slow. I mean really slow. I play SMACx and CivII with no troubles. Well, the SMACx game is slower than CivII.

Any ideas how I can get this game to move along? I've made all the trouble-shooting adjustments offered and downloaded a patch. I'm on an OS 8.6 system.

Is there any expendable items that I can delete from the game to increase the speed?

Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

You can try turning off the various animations (goods, trade routes, units, library, etc.). This might help a little.

How about deleting the beta-testers? I did this with SMAC and it played much faster. I just don't remember where to find the beta-testers in the CTP game (file, etc.). Does anyone know?

Tired of ads?

What do you mean by beta-testers? Last time I looked beta-testers were people who played early versions of the game to find bugs...

Certainly minimising the graphics options is a good first step, you could also try playing at a lower resolution, on a smaller world or with fewer civs.

Yea, I know, but for some reason the beta-testers were listed in a file some where. A tech emailed how to delete them. The game did run faster.

Support Apolyton, buy Civilization 2

I've looked at pretty much all of the files related to CTP at one time or another, and I've never seen any such list.
