Building times

[Ad Dei Majora Gloriam]

Just finished a 3 hour session with the Romani... and I think I agree with you, Dayve...

Building times in EB seem to work well from a gameplay point of view (in Vanilla I'd often be scratching around for something to build in most provinces after a few dozen turns) which is good enough for me. I also see no historical problem in builings taking years to build. For major projects this is still the case today. One of the reasons they decide who get's the Olympic Games so far in advance is so that the hosts can actually build the facilities in time for the competition.

The only inaccurate thing is that only one building can be constructed at a time. If the resources were available, I'm sure a large city could have been building new sewers, erecting a new temple, expanding the docks and improving the roads. But, and it's a big but, there's absolutely no way this could be implemented in game (and even if it could it would cause all sort's of problems).
