So, has anyone 'done the math' and figured when it's best to start buying improvements instead of just more infrastructure? Of course the military improvements are useful whenever you need military power, but the financial ones like the bank or the 'social' ones like schools or clinics are harder to figure out the cost-benefit situation for.
Math is different though depending on resources, infrastructure,etc. I read the programmer intended for it to be hard to figure out, we're to learn by doing. The general rules of thumb is around 1500 NS and you shouldn't have to save more than 2-3 days. You get no absolute consensus on which to buy first, but the general consensus all things being equal, is to buy the harbor first as this gives you an trade for resources. YMMV
