0.15.2 Update has much slower AI. It is taking noticeably longer between turns for the AI to move.

This also may be a consequence of setting all the AI to Very Hard and the Alien Aggression to Low.

I only have a sample size of one game, so this is just an initial impression, but the Low Alien Aggression seems to have allowed all of the AI to expand much faster and to play a tougher game. Which I think is great; I have said all along the main competition should be the other factions, not the native life.

But whether it is a result of the update, or the settings I used, the AI is VERY slow. I have been keeping an ebook open on my other screen so I will have something to do during the AI turns.

I will start another game with Normal setting and see if it is the same. Anyone else having the slow AI experience?

I have noticed a slowdown in the later stages of the game on medium sized worlds. I haven't even bothered with huge worlds.

I wouldn't say the slowdown between turns is that bad though, I think at the worst point it was taking maybe between 10-15 seconds to process a turn.

The AI is a lot slower in my core i7 (quad core) you get too much time as you can see.

So developers, what happened with 0.15 to slow the game down so much?
