Old Post How long does conqueror setup take you

Last time, I fired up a game with the RotC plans it took about two hours. All level two cities. I only prebuilt Minuteman Settements like Tempines, Oberland, Country Crossing, etc. Left out any number that I wanted to build myself or that had prexisting baddies.

The games I've started only using Simple Settlements seem to only add about 30 minutes or so to normal vault exit time.
 
Yep, it really depends on how many settlements you ask to be pre-built, and the level. My current campaign, it took about an hour, I think.
 
I clocked it at just over two hours to pre-build all but the default-exclusions to level 1, which seems pretty reasonable considering all the stuff that's going on. Having said that, it's a long time to not really be doing much. Thinking I might end up making it the last thing I do before I turn in for the night in those cases where I want to start a new character.

I've also considered perhaps retaining a "root" save from just after Conqueror sets up using my preferred settings, and then just reload from that and customize a character from there rather than running the entire start-up procedure to use the same settings for a different character; only time I'd need to run the whole process again would be to make very specific changes to Conqueror's settings before the pre-build stage.
