A please request. A city to start with option.

from Elemental Forums

I'm not sure if anyone would like this idea but its been bugging me because I dont get as much time to play this as I would like.

Can we get an option in the setting to start with a basic city?  It doesn't have to be above level one.  Maybe 3 turns or so from it.  Just something to get you off the ground a little faster while your real life children are nipping at your heals (pun intended).  It would save me a half an hour at least each time I start a game that I never get to finish because I forget all the things I did two days ago and have to relocate all of the things that are related to all the things that I forgot about doing on the last turn of the game that I thought I could do before I was asked a question about a thing by my kid that made me forget about the thing in the game I was playing before I forgot to save the thing or game... whatever...

 

Thanks

One of the Sovereign creation options that we used to have allowed you to start with a city.  I'd imagine that this is still possible via modding, but I'd have to look at the code in the older versions of the game, and see how that was done.

The issue now, of course, will be the resource levels of an 'automatically established' starting city (grain/materials/essence). 

I'll put this on my 'to do' list, for anyone interested in a 'fast start' mod, but it'll be a bit before I'd be able to tackle it (too many other mods on my plate right now).  Of course, another modder could introduce it as well between now and then...
