Seriously!?

What's wrong with the developers that AI turns can take so long? You should fix it so that players don't have to wait 5 minutes for a single play!

It's a glaring flaw that shouldn't have made it past beta testing. Smh.

This has... never been the case in any instance that I have ever played. And besides that, there's a speedup option for AI turns.

You want hard AI, you need to let it think... Normally it is fast, only slows down when it has plenty of open abilities and different outcome from playing them in different order, or to different targets.

Well I just took a 30 minute final turn... make that AI wait!!

I guess it depends on your PC, I have a 8700K overclocked to 5GHz and the longest turn is about 5-7 seconds. Meaning the computer pauses for that long.

Get a faster CPU if you want the Hard AI to make the best choice it can. Or play on easy. You either get hard AI and wait or you get "bad" Hard AI and have their moves faster.

What kind of PC do you have?

With the latest expansion I have had turns where the AI did not play a single card for over 20 min, and the spinning that marks the thinking stood perfectly still for all that time. How long it would have taken for it to do something I don't know, 20 min was my limit for when I just gave up and started a new game.

Hate it, too. It does it on simple things, too, not just complex later in the game stuff.... yes, later it takes longer, but it's slow at all times.
