Castles and Citadels and stuff

Maybe, but the only time I find a wizard's tower is really sufficiently faster is when you're building it by magic with the Wizard's Tower spell. Anything else just doesn't really satisfy a "need it done yesterday" situation. 2 turns, 4 turns....eh. I can afford to wait 2 turns to get a proper castle with a better 40 admin. If I just need a fast castle because all I need is mages, I could just use the Mausoleum or something instead. I'm not saying the Wizard's Tower is something that nobody would EVER take, like, say, the Mountain Citadel, but it *IS* a little steep.

Maybe it doesn't suit your playstyle, but so does anything that isn't played on the world map with VQ's and Ermor.

Hey, now that's just insulting. I *DO* play other nations from time to time. And what's wrong with the World map? I *LIKE* the world map! It's an excellent map for innumerable reasons, among which includes the fact that I can explain what's going on to somebody who isn't in the game without laboriously taking screenshots.

I consider the Wizard's Tower to be significantly faster, and cheaper, which means you put them up even faster than normal especially considering the mutability of a game.

But that is only because I don't mind 40 Dpoints for what it provides.

I can understand your perspective on the matter, given that your attitude towards my World map preference is clearly less than favorable: You undoubtedly play primarily on rush maps where a long-term, more patient view of the world is not valued much, and paying an extra 40 points for a tower you can slap up now, now, now may very well pay off better in such a situation than a longer view of things.
