Oleg have you even played AIC in Finite

JLS my friends and me play Finite all the time and we think the balance has always been fine, I guess you did the impossible JLS and did balance all game setups with one set of files, AIC not only works great in Finite it Works Great in No-Warp.

The Refining Community, Refining Society, and Refining Center are crucial to winning when playing finite, more so if you are not a Crystal Race.

Oleg in a finite game radioactive can disappear quickly. The radioactive traded at these centers are real important, not to mention the research the storage and every thing that is included.

Hey I am all for reducing the cost, but is it realistic, I think a Refining Centers are much more important in Finite then most Cities...

Sometimes I play Finite but I don't like it very much. Nature shrine is such a valuable building in Finite. I simply can not force myself not to pick Deeply Religious

Upgrade routine indeed makes cities less profitable - refining community cost 30K while colonial settlement only 6K.

40% upgrade cost makes settlement->City cost 28K
ref.comunity->ref.center cost 74K
The 46K difference will be repaid in 230 turns
Unless it was the first building on your first colony, game may be over by that time !
