Heres just a couple of ways to reduce your lag with CA. Also thank mugnuf (posted right below me) becasue he gave many idea's to.
1.
GAMEBOOSTER
Gamebooster's are some of the best ways to reduce lag. They close programs that you dont need while your game is running. Use google to get a good and free one.
2.
CLOSE ALL OF YOUR WEBPAGE'S
This is the simplest of all ways to reduce lag. The internet can take make your game lag a lot if you watching some videos or 18+ stuff in the background.
3.
DON'T DOWNLOAD ANYTHING!
If your downloading something while your playing CA, depending on the file it can create A LOT OF LAG. Wait for the download to finish or close it before you play!
4.
OTHER PROGRAMS?!
Turn off all other programs like Xfire and Skype if your lagging like a [CENSORED]. It may just be that your comp can't take it while your going into the game. Also close teamviewer before you go in game!
5.
CHECK YOUR CONNECTION!
Doing something as simple as going to your internet box and looking at the connection strength can help you......if its low then take out the wire, wait 10 to 20 seconds and then plug it back in.
6.
DELETE SOME GAMES OFF THE COMP!
If you got a lot of games like CA, Crossfire or even Age of Empires 3 on your comp then it may be taking a lot of memory. Try Deleting a few games and then see if it helped. Hint: i keep around 4-5 games but go up to 6-7 as a limit ( i got a terrbyte memory).
7.
ARE YOU GETTING DDOS ATTACKED?
Well, do you believe that your getting DDOS attacked? if you are then try talking to your internet provider and get some help. If the attack is strong enough your internet could not even work.
