1 does anybody else feel that diseases have become completely trivial after their nerfing? right now when ever I get a disease I just quarantine get some hospitals up if don't already have any and then ignore it and just get on with my life disease control feels completely worthless now 2 does crime feels extremely easy to deal with to anybody else? after the territory over haul usually I only need 1 police station per territory? not sure if that's a good or bad thing just curious really?.
I was going to wait and do a sort of first pass of impressions on the game, first one being the art is fantastic! I mean really, really nice, 3d touches and really well done, which makes playing very nice. Also i like the way the game lets me play 'my' game, which is sorta slow and plodding and methodical and trying to keep my housing just right, and my farms up to par, making sure i have enough jobs for people and stuff. Instead of making me play someone else's style. Which i really appreciate.
With regards to diseases and crime being nerfed, to be honest i was rather pleased that instead of killing me and having me start another game, the game was letting me 'deal' with things, in my noob, learning my way along way. Which is also something i really appreciate. I should mention i am on normal difficulty, so i thought i would probably run into stuff that would roll over me pretty quick, i am used to having to play easy for Arcen games because i get over my head and the game starts to do the evil laugh stuff, muh hah hah ha... just kidding, but what i do mean is that it was really nice to have options to counter the games plays against me, instead of losing and having to start over. I thought it would probably be way different for those on harder difficulties, understandably, but those playing on those levels probably want that kind of play.
Anyway, i like having the disease and crime and even the attacks, at least so far, as being tough, but not killing me off kind of tough. Of course Rooster you are probably a better player than me, and need more challenge, but i think if we leave it the way it is now on normal and raise the stakes for the higher difficulties, then you can play the harder difficulties and have to scramble when diseases and crime hits and me on easy or normal, can fight them off and keep playing.
Thanks for listening,
