Building Time Imperial Guard, etc.

[Corax]

Hello,
Can anyone explain to me why buildings/units take so long to build with the IG and well most other factions i played so far (Space Marines, Necrons)?
It takes like 10 turns to build anything (building/vehicle/elite infantry). My loyality, food and actually all the ressources are fine.
Is the solution just to produce simply more infantry/vehicle buildings? And for buildings in general, how do i speed that up?
Thanks

I will assume you are playing on standard speed with standard costs.

For a military building, it should take 6 turns.
If it takes longer (and your loyalty/energy is fine), it might be your population. If you have less population than active buildings, then you get a malus.

Where does the 'etc' come into it?

Make sure you have enough population to staff the number of buildings you have
Make sure your loyalty is in the positive (or at least not too far into the negative)

You can increase unit production speed by building more unit production buildings On standard settings, having 3 of the same production building will be enough to enable you to build any unit in 1 or 2 turns.

Every faction can research a building that will increase the speed of constructing buildings in your city.

What is fine? I assume nothing is negative? If power is negative for example that will massively increase the cost of all production.

Given all the facts there are only a few possible solutions.

1. You are not playing on standard speed; buildings should be 6 turns or faster except for the building that makes buildings faster.
2. You have negative loyalty
3. You are playing with a loyalty penalty as a function of difficulty.
4. You have more population required than you have available.
5. You are attempting to make high tier infantry/vehicles with one production building of that type.

Yep. Plopping down two infantry producers at the start can leapfrog you ahead of the AI on early game troop production.

not really, because you need to buff up this "early investment" with the resources to build and upkeep the planned units. and AM Inf Building is not famous for being a big resource producer.

I've only played as space marines so far and dropping two inf barracks works great. Not right after each other of course but certainly in the first 20 turns when you are still building up your initial army. Dunno about the other factions.

With SM that stunt can Work thnx to the FoR Resource Mechanics and the fact that FoR hold tight at your Outposts without the need to station one of your normal Units on the Outpost.
But even with them that woud be hard on normal game speed and without Bonus to yourself at Turn 20, when you dont sprinkle at least one dedicated Building for Requistion in.

Thanks,
Problem was population to some degree (not enough) and the other thing was that i only had one infantry/vehicle/Production building. Building two of each dramatically speeds that up. Did not know that. Guess its the same with (most) other races. Havent played all of them yet.
