Sid Meier's Colonization/Advanced buildings

Cost of buildings + their dependencies.

Here's a total cost of an example industrial base for 5 coastal and 5 inland colonies, without free Stockades. Only final buildings are listed (but with the full cost of course). I'm not suggesting this is optimal (or even reasonable) set of buildings, but it should give you a general idea what costs to expect.


 * 5x Fort (for inland colonies)		920 hammers, 500 tools
 * 5x Fortress (for coastal colonies)		2520 hammers, 1500 tools
 * 2x Arsenal					824 hammers, 300 tools
 * 4x Docks					208 hammers
 * 1x Shipyard					240 hammers, 100 tools
 * 5x Warehouse					400 hammers
 * 5x Warehouse Expansion			800 hammers, 100 tools
 * 5x Stable            			320 hammers
 * 2x Custom House				320 hammers, 100 tools
 * 10x Newspaper					1720 hammers, 700 tools
 * 1x Textile Mill				224 hammers, 120 tools
 * 1x Fur Factory				216 hammers, 120 tools
 * 10x Lumber Mill				520 hammers
 * 1x Church					64 hammers
 * 3x Iron Works				912 hammers, 360 tools

And some units (I assume you got 5 Artillery and most of the ships in Europe):
 * 20x Artillery (5 in each coastal colony)     3840 hammers, 800 tools
 * 50x Guns for Dragoons				2500 tools
 * 2x Privateer					512 hammers, 240 tools
 * 2x Galleon					640 hammers, 200 tools
 * 20x Wagon Train                              780 hammers

Add to that about 200 tools per colony - 40 tools in the center for cutting forest and plowing, on average 1 enhancement (20 tools) per used square (0 on ocean, but often you need 2 and sometimes even 3 - woodcut + plowing + road) and about 400 for extra roads between colonies. That's additional 2400 tools.


 * Subtotal for buildings:				10208 hammers, 3900 tools
 * Subtotal for units:				5772 hammers, 3740 tools
 * Subtotal for terrain enhancement:		2400 tools
 * Total:						15980 hammers, 10040 tools

That means you need hammer production of 160 and tools production of 100 if you want to get that in 100 turns (50 years). That requires lumber production of 160 and ore production of 67. Proportionally more if you want to get that much earlier.
