This is the worst cultural settlement of all times, I can only produce enough Rupees to produce 5 of any goods at a time. I have 90% of the settlement in houses to produce Rupees and only produce enough to make 5 of either product at a time. I have spent 2 weeks to gain 2 additional building sectors and had to use those for more homes to produce Rupees. I am ready to close this settlement and go back to the others and settle for forge points. This sucks
I am nearly finished with the last Mughal Settlement. It is very slow going and requires patience and a lot of residences early on to build up the Rupees. I have little interest in the Minaret, so I do not try to finish early. I do have enough to build 1 at a low level, but I most likely never will. If you just focus on finishing and not rushing it, then there is no reason to spend much time on it. Just place your buildings and collect. When you think you have enough goods and Rupees to advance a few quests or diplomatic levels, do so, but don't concern yourself with rushing it. Before long, you will make progress.
I am not even a big fan of the Temple, but the extra Emissaries and slots add enough value to make it worth completing, IMO.
