I'm assuming you're using GWX. Stock always loaded pretty quick. Once I got GWX, the load time increased considerably due to the huge increase in units.
My old machine took about 14-16 minutes to load as well, even after doing some RAM changes.

I got a better computer from my wife's work after they upgraded in March/April and now the load times are half of that.

Can't help you on the 1945 thing. I haven't made it that far yet.

My load times are not as long as 14 mns..maybe 5-7 minutes, I have never timed it.

As far as the end of the war after about 7 careers, I have yet to survive til the end of the war... hedgehogs..

I'm suprise nobody has answered the latter part of your original post

When the war ends everything reverts back to a neutral status.

Don't forget though....if you attack a neutral you are regarded as an enemy for the following 24 hours.

The load times given by people are pretty useless without the technical specification. It would be better to say what your machines are, so the OP can get an idea of what goes in his case.

Anyway, it would appear anyway that he is on the low end of the load time chart.

What some may not be telling you is the fact that there are empty campaign files available which load an SH3 world devoid of anything into your computer....pretty useless for gameplay yet handy for testing purposes

I've never made it to the end of the war! If I do, it will probably be long after the last person has asked that question.
