This is a long time flaw with the series. Other turn based games don't come anywhere close to the demands that Civ puts on a CPU in-between turns. There's just too much information to process, onscreen and off. I was hoping they would have trimmed some that bullsh*t down for the 5th one, guess not.
My problem with DRM is that it is just...pointless, it's laughable how useless it is There's no such thing as anti-piracy software, it will never exist. No matter how top of the line, no matter how much it costs, it will be cracked and it will be cracked quickly. Publishers pay these companies millions of dollars to protect their games and their just not protected at all. It's a waste of money, it's a waste of time and effort and it does nothing but cause the consumer headaches.
