Thanks Fyron, there is always more that can be done, and more will be done
Agreed Puke, it should take less then 50 years to build a City
Agreed GLV “Cities are not that time consuming to build/upgrade playing AIC;
at less then 4years (FOUR) with AIC Cities” and when you want to further a small or even a mined out planet, Urban Development does come in very handy along with other options.
Founding Fathers rarely build their Cities over the best crop land.
Agreed Fyron, "17 turns to begin producing resources on a colony is still extremely slow."
However with AIC, it has always been; with only 9pop it only takes 3 turns (THREE) or less to build a resource extraction facilty and only 2 turns (TWO) or less for a research facility
Additionally you are also Correct QB, if you build basic se4 resource extraction facilities in AIC (above) it does not take that long to max out a Colony; especially with the new OS* starting trait options.
