How to make EU4 run faster?

[ParrotCarrot]

I play EU4 on a Mac, a VERY OLD Mac (Late 2009) The game runs pretty good on it, I have a few mods that speed up the game like Fast Universalis and Bright Water mod. But I am wondering if there are some more ways to speed up the game. Any suggestions?

In the main screen (where you can select single- or multiplayer game) you can click Options >> video >> game tab uncheck compress autosaves >> video tab multisample level 0, turn off trees, particles and all that

But in the end, the game is not usually lagging because of video effects (it is just a map with couple menu items), it starts to lag in the late game because there are hundreds of countries moving thousands of units, making many decisions every second. There is nothing you can do about that, reduce game speed to 3 and zoom out enough to lose unit graphics has given best result for me.

Go to the workshop and check out a mod called fast universalis. It removes all the unit animations and speeds things up a little
