this is an economic simulation game so if you take out the expansion time it wouldn't be like real life as much

Time is money, as you know. Just as production time must figure into your calculations in terfms of costs and benefits, so must expansion time.

Ok it's an economic simulation game, i agree, but in real life guys with lots of money could just pay the builders to work overtime and have the expansion done twice or even three times as fast. Maybe there could be an opcion to reduce expansion time, if you are willing to pay a certain amount of money, for example half of what the expansion materials are worth (or something like that, the price is not really the point).

but the problem is that the larger players have more money ... and they are the ones who want a reduction in expansion time. this is a very rounded game for new players to develop fast, and older players to develop slower; relatively.

I, myself, am waiting on 3 expansions which will both take over 1 month to complete. but when that is done, i will be doing another 3 buildings for a month lol if i had the money, i would upgrade all my buildings, then take a 1 month vacation LoL

I see no problem with your current expantion timings. That is coming from someone with a few buildings that still have 80+ days before they finish expanding.

I am not in favor of an option to speed up expantion time, either.

The problem with paying extra for expansion speed is that those with the money will have more of it.

Beyond that, remember, you can literally buy money in the form of coins. Limiting expansion speed at least helps prevent someone from literally buying first place in the game. You can dump real money into the game but there are still obstacles to overcome. To be fun and at least marginally fair, I think it has to be that way

Hello.

The time of expanding is well balanced. Please keep in mind that this game shall have long-term provocations and not be finished within 2 weeks.

I guess there will be no changes in the time.

Sincerely,
Zbombe.

This idea would just make it increasingly harder for new players and easier for older players.
