[Recommended settings (lag)]

Thanks all! These tips have helped gameplay. Hopefully new players can come here in the future and get better games, like I did.

Any more tips, please add!

You can also give your computer a little boost by reducing graphic settings. In particular try running with renderactors=false.

I assume you are referring to the default.cfg file? I can't find renderactors, the closest I can see is renderpath.

This game has been lots of fun!

What are the best ways to reduce lag?
Of course, lag is a big setback--I know that lag is well-known and that the game is still in alpha, but I can't find any recommendations on best ways to improve gameplay experience (eg, which maps/terrains are better, recommended population count per-person and total-per-game, game settings, etc). I enjoy playing, but it becomes almost unplayable in multiplayer. Perhaps some recommendations will help retain players!
