Biggest map I can play

from GalCiv3 Forums

I love big maps and slow research.

I have 16gb of RAM and a I7-4700MQ 2.4GHz

So what realistically can I play size wise before the turn times become unbearable?

Define 'unbearable'. Some people can't stand a five-second wait. Some people don't mind anything upto 5 minutes.

With the same amount of RAM but a 3.4ghz processor, I'm getting under that with a 40-person game in turn 300 on a map with 1200 planets (i.e, twice what you can get in the base game). RAM is the key tbh.
