[o]Since you get to choose your colony, it will generally have a useful ability. However, even if it didn't, just the production of the colony will generally pay for itself. Plus you also get glory, which is the point of the game. If you think you need to activate the colony to harvest its field in the next winter, that would be yet another reason to activate it.Obviously there's a lot of groupthink here, but not activating your colonies seems strange. Why go to a lot of effort to build them, then?[/o]
