Game is running at crawling speed.  Numerous players in my coalition - both US and Europe - are complaining so it's not my connection/my configuration/my computer.  Game is unplayable as it is.  Screen changes take 20-30 seconds to load.  Progress Timers at bottom of city screen update in 15-25 second increments.  Impossible to coordinate galleys with raids for example.

When moving around the map blank background appears then 20-30 second lag before cities populate.

Problem has been ongoing - on and off - since yesterday morning. Is Plarium at least aware of the problem?
