AIC is already far faster then Proportions. Cities are roughly 1/2 of cultural centers and can be build VERY FAST with extra option O1. Too fast for my taste BTW. With this option, ~100 turns with no big wars and one should be able to double or even triple the HW production output.

I see your point Oleg if you are just talking about Urban Centers - but with Apples to Apples.

The AIC Home World starts with about 12kt of minerals along with about every ability the se4 game has to offer.

It does not take nearly 100 years to get a Colony up to 12k with Minning Facilities, and it only takes 2 or 3 trade agreements to match most of the home world starting numbers, it only takes less then a few dozen SAT robo-miners to match that (about 4 trips with the AIC cargo launcher) it only takes several Minning vessels to match 12kt, it only takes severel bases to match 12kt.

One more thing, you did start your AIC game with a good amount of Resources, Research, Intel and tons of other special abilities with that AIC home world
