What gives you the right to say what makes sense in the future? Does it make sense that a factory could be built in one months time that will produce 1/18th of a worlds economic production? It's a game man. Get a grip.
If such a factory were possible, it would likely would entail some sort of prefabricated modular building techniques. So thinking an empire would build the fastest building it can to get some production going and then upgrade later is perfectly reasonable.
DO you have a clue how governments operate? Why do our highways fall apart after five years when we have the technology to build roads that Last decades? Because we cut corners and use obsolete technology to get the job done faster and cheaper. After it's in we can fix it/upgrade it.
Have you ever bought/built a pc? WOuld you sit around with no computer waiting to get enough money together to buy only the latest most expensive components? Or would you go to a computer show and buy stuff that's a little older and a lot cheaper? SO you can get a computer up and running faster? Cause you can always upgrade to better components on the next payday, right?
