The game is multithreaded :)

However, in previews, they said it was slowing down to snail like speeds later on into the game on an I7 system with an ATI 5870.

That could have been because the game wasnt finished at that point and was poorly coded.

That's what I've been thinking. Should be interesting to see how well it will run on a mates older spec machine with ATi 1850XT and whether he'll need to spend some money on an upgrade.

Feels weird to considering upgrades for a turn-based strategy game, I wonder where all that GFX rendering power is going...
