takes a long time to get troops to move?

[unmerged(21575)]

when ever my three friends and i get together to play, there's an immense about of time needed to get troops to even show the route in which they're taking for all but the host, is this just normal start up lag or something, we have never really gone past 1836 because of crashes and such.

It's part of MP, this problem has existed since eu2 so you need to get used to it. My friends and I have been playing together since 1998 but eventhough we went through the same thing with eu2, we still don't like it.

Basically, try to avoid close call combat to reduce catastrophy, unless you're the host so you can retreat at will.
