Will you add an option to the poll for people who can't beat FGs yet?
added  :D

@all:
So what do you think is the reason for all that slow-drawing vs hourglassed FGs?

Someone on the chat claimed, Elements was mainly heavy on the CPU.
As already said above, another one claimed to beat them in like 2min because his "connection was really good" ...

Personally, I cant really see why there should be performance issues at all with this game.
But maybe someone who really knows about that stuff can clear this up??

The AI is client side so connection doesn't matter. To check this, just start a game and disconnect from the internet, you'll still be able to finish the match, and even start new ones! :)

Yes, the game is VERY cpu intensive and to see that all you have to do is open Task Manager and  look at CPU usage :).... If you want to make sure it's the GAME that's taking the cpu simply go to "Processes" tab and look for the process which is your browser (such firefox.exe or chrome.exe)...

It only takes me around 5 minutes usually, because I don't spend much time thinking about what I'm going to do. I usually think a few turns ahead, so I don't waste any time during my turn.

well.. i think the big point is  that if i didn't have to wait for 7 of the 10 minutes on the ai things would be faster :P

(yes.. i know.. my lappie isn't the fastest :( )

Do you have it on low quality? That speeds it up a ton. Other than that, you really can't do much about it. :D
