Basically, I'm asking for a way to decrease the recruitment and construction time,(process_cq Sparta?) and being able to have other factions accept my alliances, and being able to press a button for moar gold.
You can decrease recruitment times (Down to a minimum of one turn), and presumably construction times as well. There are no console commands, so no process_cq/rq, no add_money, so theres no button for more money.
