Well, I've been doing some more tweaking but I haven't uploaded the changes yet. I've put production back to normal for buildings, as I may have gone too far in lowering production, but have kept the man power reduced by one, thus pushing out those extra colonists into new colonies.
What I would really like to do, however, is start off with every building only allowing one worker and then creating expansions, which can only be built after a certain number of colonies.
The only building I can't do this for sucessfully is the town hall. This is because, for some reason, whatever number of workers and professional output that I set for the town hall, the replacement buildings stick with these (printing press, newspaper) in spite of me making specific changes for those buildings - it just ignores them. Does anyone know how I can correct this?
