Proportions Question

[dogscoff]

Tbon- it goes
minor city>city>major city>metropolis>megalopolis (I think)

The settlement chain has only two items in it, I can't remember their names right now.

PvK: I have three homeworlds now (all medium planets, I think) and I should have the Norak one as well inside of 20 turns. Then it's a short hop over to the Xi-chung home-system to take theirs.

My invasions are carried out by a "supermadbastard" class worldship, which can deliver 12000 points of damage at range 12 every other combat turn. Strip the shields, waste the wep platforms, then creep in to drop the troops.

I've not got a huge resource surplus at the moment, but I could get myself probably a hundred thousand extra per turn simply by mothballing my stellar manip fleet & worldship.

Settlement upgrades to Community, which doesn't upgrade. The Settlement and Community were added because people wanted a cultural facility which was smaller than a small city, for fun's sake. They can't upgrade to larger cultural facilities, because the program hard-codes upgrade costs so that it would make larger facs like Megalopolis too cheap.

Thanks guys.

Now I can make a more informative decision.

What do you have to research to get a minor city?

OK, I've built my ringworld, and I'm currently constructing a spaceyard there to accelerate the CC construction. Build time for the CC is shown at around 3000 turns right now.

Building the ringworld was surprisingly easy- I'm thinking I might do a few more.
