Hi all, I have now been playing some time, and when I get more units and cities (perhaps after 200 turns) the game becomes awfully slow.
I tried this low-res thing, but I only get some 50 or 100 turns oxygen before it again slows down.
I get to the point where I need 10 mins to play a turn, and eventually quit the game because it becomes boring.
Is there a way to play without graphics and without sound?? :-)

Well, what's your system? As the game progresses, more units are created, more bases need managing, etc by the AI. This is exacerbated on large/huge maps. Make sure to be using v3 of the game, which signifigantly improves performance. Other ways to speed up the game can be found in the readme.txt.
