He played on Immortal though so enemy gets massive bonuses in combat and economy. For a proper demonstration he should have played on "default" i guess.
But one thing that instantly became apparent, end turn times have become EVEN WORSE to civ 4. And thats saying something. It was the first round on a standard map and what did he have, over 4 seconds turn time already? In Civ4 that was instant....
Surprised nobody watching it Live asked "heya, whats up with the crappy turn times that early?"
