[quote who="harpo99999" reply="42" id="2712060"]starfighter, IT WILL run, but based upon beta4 you might want to use clothmap to improve the speed, but it should play fine with a bit of a pause while the computer is doing the end of turn.

[/quote] This could be solved in the following way: Make founding outposts relatively cheap and allow them to grow into villages or even towns but prevent them from growing into cities unless the player grants the settlement a "city charter", which allows it to grow but results in a steep increase in upkeep/maintenance.
