Gonna have to jump on some of what Mr. 219.92.192.135 here said, because it was so hilariously wrong and off-perspective (not to mention uneccesarily patronizing):

1) Don't just use math? LOLWUT. I laughed hard at this one. Are we supposed to use fuzzy feelings now? No.

We use math for a reason. With math, opinions don't matter. It's objective. You cannot BS your way through a math problem and expect to magically land on a result that "feels good therefore is right". That's called magical thinking, and one of the simplest, clearest logical fallacies to pick out. Math destroys all that illusion: assuming you've taken all pertinent variables into account, if your calculations are right, they're right (consistent) for everyone else who does them properly. There is no "true for you but not true for me" here. Math ignores that.

'''Never. Ever. Diss math.''' Do that, and the only thing you've proven is an inability on your part to comprehend solid logic and objective processes.

2) While I don't disagree that Parliament Building helps, the difference it helps you by is marginal at best. I am one of those high-level people you presumably speak of, and yet I don't even notice the difference my Parliaments make. Nor do I care. Do you know why? It's precisely because I'm high level and flowing up to here with resources, so much I don't even know what to do with it anymore except blow it all out on some random activity for the lulz. And watching my stocks recover instamagically; I hardly even notice I emptied them just minutes earlier.

In other words? In the long run, you won't even freaking care. Even if your resources don't recover near-instantaneously, later on the buiding times get sooo long, you won't be spending any normal resources on them for a while. Quite the opposite of what you asserted.

You were looking down on this player because he/she was low level, but that's not exactly a sin. What you did on the other hand, neither helped that player's motivation or objective decision-making processes.

As for whether or not the Parliament building is a waste of resources, it eventually won't be. Eventually is the key word in that statement, because eventually the minute insignificant savings you piled up will add up. Eventually. However, it still isn't exactly high on the priority meter whether you duel or not. There are wiser things to spend your resources on if you really are strapped for resources. Like, oh, improving your ability to     generate      more resources.
