I've never played a might and magic, civilization, or other such game like Fallen Echantress. Closest is maybe Sins of a Solar Empire. The pacing of Fallen Enchantress has me always feel like im behind on building my city structures. I rapidly unlock more before coming close to building the previous ones. The "build up" portion of the game before any kind of real combat occurs seems and feels really long. I also seem to have some periods of time where numerous turns go by and I am doing barely anything in the game, just waiting for buildings to go up etc. 

Now, that said, is this just the pace of these types of games? I noticed after a few hours of play things pick up and you start having quite a bit to manage on all fronts. The feeling of always being behind in terms of building my cities up is still there, but the overall game feels more like I would expect.

Do I just need to adjust to the style of play, or am I doing something wrong in my early game? I love the game btw, just want to make sure this feeling isn't because I am messing up somehow.
