    The review I read in MaximumPC said that turns take forever. There were other complaints too. They gave it a six out of ten.

    That's not entirely accurate - at the mid-end of the game, when most of the nations are known to you, the game grinds to a screeching halt. Turns then take between 2 to 5 minutes, which is getting on my nerves. Historically accurate, perhaps, but in terms of gameplay - too many different tiny nations. I'll just wait for a mod that might sort this mess up.

    Other than that, they improved the stability of the game a great deal, and the mods really enhance the gameplay. Now is not a bad time to jump in, actually.

    indeed mid late game the turns still take a lot of time, instead of mere 0-2s per faction, it takes 1-5s. I solved this with books

    the dlc aint free if you get it now just for one week, you have to get it now for it to be free. I should have linked CA announcement, but given that people were still getting confused with it, I chose not to

    2-5 minutes between turns is a super long time. How do books fix this?

    yeah in 2 years or more it should arrive, don't ask me when spring is coming, because that is something that probably someone is going to need to finish
