BFCElvis Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 Something that goes back to CMBO..... You are facing what appears to be a small enemy force. That battle has been going on for a while. You don't issue many orders for your own troops. Click "Go".....file crunching takes a long time. Looks like someone got some help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably but not necessarily. What's being crunched is the number of separate actions by each unit and their interactions. If the fighting suddenly heats up between the units already on the map, that could account for longer computation times. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of the blue bar in my post. The green bar is a whole different kettle of fish. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefly Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 Another dead giveaway is when the size of movie files suddenly increases from 60k to 900k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFCElvis Posted September 1, 2003 Author Share Posted September 1, 2003 What Michaelk and Firefly are talking about is what I experience. Against a human opponant. I don't consider this a bug or big flaw or anything...merely an observation that I have had over the years and decided to post for a reason that I can no longer remember. I know it was because I was playing an email turn in which I moved none of my units at all and the enemy had moved nothing for a while. When I see that long turn crunch in a situation like that I usaully say "uh oh" and if I still don't any enemy in the following movie I still know they are out there in force if the file takes a while to crunch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
