That is, I expect people to consider upgrading from a city to a metropolis, instead of building a metropolis from scratch. It also makes more sense - metropoli are generally cities for a long time before they become metropoli.

I understand, some questions pop up on my forehead.
Is the AI somehow programmed/programmable to use similar upgrade paths?
Why did you take the Arcology (350,000) out of the path, I mean it could have a nice place after Megalopolis (250,000)?

Sidenote: It is really hard to capture AI homeworlds even in tactical combat after some 25 years. I guess in simultaneous/PBW it could be a non-capturable fortress with a few WP, troops and long range weapons...
I think, turn-based/tactical for single player is recommendable similar to Pirates&Nomads from my perspective. Mmh, or is it just that I am too bad...
