For all of the "look-ahead cheats" that you know the game does - I mean, it tracks everything about the game in a database - you would think they would have had a better "routine" for when high-TC is in use. When you think though, that 1 second of real time at 1024x is 17 minutes in game time, and 8096 is over 2 hours, the devs should probably have left the top TC setting at 4096 like it was...
