This bugs me....a lot. Some parts of the game are soooo slow and other events seem to happen way too fast.
I've got about three different games going (all at different 'speeds,' whatever that's supposed to mean as they all seem the same...) and not one of my little empires has more than a dozen cities. They just won't grow. I tried being hands on and managing the minutiae, I've tried hands off and letting the city run itself with the occasional nudge, and I've tried turning production over to some formless governor. None of it seems to work. Production of actual 'things' (temples, courthouse, settlers, workers, warriors) seems very, very slow.
However, I'm developing technologies at break neck speed. Leonard Nimoy just can't seem to shut his yap.
Not to mention, even if I could build more than a dozen cities, I'd have no where to build them. In every game, I'm surrounded. If they're not in my back yard, they're trying to negotiate with me. In my "Roman" game, I'm surrounded by four other civilizations, which is bad enough, but every other turn 'Catherine' of Russia interrupts me to ask for 'open borders,' which is a bit riduculous since she's waaaaay over on the far side of the map!
Good game. Just a bit irritating right now.
