Over time I realized I wasn't required to keep people uninformed. They need guidance and eventually found employment in agricultural settings. Without an industry, retailers will begin importing products instead of local goods, which can significantly increase traffic pressure. With cargo terminals and shipyards, trucks will arrive periodically. You won't receive tax revenue from these imports; you only get it when commercials sell items. This creates a balance between pollution and benefits. Additionally, using office zones between commercial and residential areas can help reduce noise pollution. Regarding performance, as discussed in another thread, the developers separated graphics and simulation tasks. Because the game models every individual, performance slows with higher populations—hence the 1 million player limit. Separating graphics from simulation is advantageous since population growth has little impact on FPS. Of course, more assets to render add some load, but it's minimal.
I bought the game late at night and stayed up until 3 AM. Now I have to go to work at 5 AM, and I’m really exhausted. Maybe I’ll grab lunch in the car and rest.
I planned to wait for a discount but ended up purchasing it during GMG's VIP sale for $21. I've been observing Northernlion's performance over time, and it appears to be performing well. However, I anticipate spending a lot of time in it, which will be even more challenging given my cautious approach to these types of games.
Loving it quite a bit. Around 50k folks in my area. Yet the traffic is terrible, which also creates issues with dead bodies and trash.
