Mob mentality
I mean, sure? But also, its a MEGA-PROJECT, they are super fancy, improve prestige, give massive benefits, and are basically always worth getting. I'm up for nearly any plan that gets us more mega-projects faster.
yeah, but this is our first mega-project. This might be THE first mega-project anyone has done. Which means if we get it done fast, we might get a civ bonus for it. Prestige if nothing else.
Still trying to complete it right now is gonna put a big strain on our Econ at the moment why not take a turn or two to build the Econ the we can really focus down the project with less strain to our Econ and the people.
Just going to say that Golden age will end when requirements are meet for it and golden age generally means peace and prosperity and throwing our resurces in mega project instead of first going and trying to have economic backbone to undertake such projects won't make it last any longer, might even shorten it.
well... how does that work? I've never been able to figure out how permanent and temporary stats work. Or what effect settlements have or... really what much of anything actually does in this game.
I think that permanent economy regenerates halfway automatically while to get temp economy you must take actions to get it and once you spend it it doesn't come back.
As for permanent/temporary stats: We have permanent stats in things that sort of represent the baseline capacity to do those things. More shrines means more Mystic. More people means more Econ.
Ok, but new settlements don't increase Econ on their own. The only action that does is Main farming right? We need 3 more settlements to get additional econ, and that's the only thing we have that permanently increases our stats right?
Oh... well now I feel like an idiot, what I get for not going back and double checking the stuff. Alright, so 5 settlement actions worth to get our first province, 10 to get our second and another action. That's... not happening any time soon. Though with more econ, we can afford more faster and the like. Still, that's a hell of a long time to go without finishing that mega-project. and I really want that mega-project.

Mega-project lasts long to and having higher stats and more actions will actually help us to finish it faster and safer as Golden age can end leaving us with unfinished mega-project and other problems so we shouldn't count on it.
More actions isn't the main reason why settlements is a good idea, it's more of a long-term benefit.
I'd disagree with this; from my understanding of the mechanics the golden age is a better time to do costly econ-generating activities, like settlements, which we'd find impractical at other times. This lets us then do the megaproject after the golden age is ended.
that's definitely another concern. I mean, I'd be up for a Main settlement action this turn in greenbay. Which would get us up to 10 permanent Econ, and if I understand it correctly, leave us with 5 temporary at the start of the next turn. At which point we could a megaproject secondary, and a farming secondary, which would put us at 6 temp for the next turn, at which point we could double Settlement again and get us to 12 permanent econ, at which point we could do secondary settlement and secondary mega-project until it finishes and just keep building up econ that whole time since we'd be making back all of our econ expenditures each turn.
