Why game is so easy?

Puke's response was one of sarcasm... You have to factor in the fact that starting SE4 technology is a hell of a lot faster than industrial age technology, so building cities would not take as long as building New York did, but far less time.

Oleg was not talking about 100 turns for a city, but 100 turns to double or triple the production of the homeworld... this is the slowness I was refering to. 17 turns to begin producing resources on a colony is still extremely slow. And, you can indeed make a whopping profit with mineral miners on a 50% value planet in stock. Not as huge as on a 100% value planet, but still big.
