How Civilization V was built for multi-core processors [pdf] 16 years ago
I recently purchased C-IV. I prefer not to have other players; People who play much better than I tend to take over my game. I kind of struggling through. In a way I'm glad that it rolls a little slow. I'll have to agree it is a little slower than the previous versions. It will be a while before I will even touch C-5. But that's okay because I only have a few hours to play the game during the night anyway.
