I think I've found the slowdown on starting. Antimalware Service Executable is sucking up most of the resources. I don't know why that suddenly needs to check all COM files. I haven't updated Windows Defender for several years, but maybe Windows did some stealthy updating. I'd disabled Windows updater only to find that Orchestrater kept switching it back on. I disabled Orchestrater and now find that something else is turning it back on. I keep killing that damned updater and it keeps rising back from the dead!

I notice some change in early game end turn as you pointing out. but overall not much difference for late game save. What that difference is that in early games, turn time longer but there is not much different between 1 opponent or 13. Both of them just get longer similarly while late game nolonger much different from previous game engine.

Warlord mod version 1.5.2.4 and version 1.5.3.4 are released. Reason for double releases is due to recent discovery of performance issue recently. Part of the problem is due to my unoptimized coding of new features. But as I attempt to optimize the mod for Hadriex, I found out that version 1.5.3 as platform has significant longer end turn than 1.5.2 under the mod even with the same code and feature. So I decide to release update version for 1.5.2 as I develop this version for Hadriex's stream.

Change Log:
General:
- Update version 1.5.2.4 platform to be as close to 1.5.3.4 as much as possible

Spells:
- Sanctify loses spell charge bonus due to it is redundant with its MP bonus.
- [1.5.2.4 only] Focus Magic lose spell charge bonus due to spell charge modification is on feature on CoM2 version 1.5.2.

Others:
- Resistance scheme of “Gods Play Dices” score option change to 8% +2, 16% +1, 16% -1, 8% -2, 4% -3.

Any plans for warlord-lite for the latest version?

[HITMAN]

Can a hero be so powerful that it crashes the game? Whenever I fight with my hero it crashes the game unless I remove the items on it. I'm playing on the latest version of CoM Warlords for Windows.
