Performance is much better than launch but still struggles at times. There's still no bicycles (!!), no asset editor, no workshop support. They also never ported out like half the animations for sims, so you don't get things like firefighters or playground children that make the city feel actually lived in. They took the best parts of the park/campus/industry customization and added them to the base game, but they didn't actually port over the mechanics for making those things themselves, so universities and parks are back to just being placable assets (and again, no workshop assets) and you can't do the industry production chains and warehousing thing, which was some of the most "gameplay" content that CS1 had. No bikes or bike lanes. Or pedestrian areas, although at least there's pedestrian roads but it's not the same. And no bikes.

I started writing a really long post to try and explain this but there are so many mechanics that the best thing you can do is play, learn, and try to understand it from the ground up. A couple general points I can give:
>More food = more population growth = more annexed provinces = more resources
>Look at your Empire Development Tree (big green button) and figure out which upgrades you plan on taking
>*Extra Imperium can be spent on pumping your cities population and schmoozing Free Cities, which gives more annexed provinces and resource tributes (eventually) respectively
>Certain affinities help your cities grow in different ways; committing to one, or at most two, is a good rule of thumb
>Generally speaking, it's smart to pick spellbooks that match your affinity, unless there's a specific book that you really want and/or could make good use of
>Not all cultures are created equally
I guess this is kind of a long post anyways but... whatever.

>>502945105
The diplomacy feels really forced across the board. Like you can meet an NPC faction and all of the sudden they're
>"HELLO SIRS! DIPLOMACY SIRS?? PEACE SIRS? TRADE SIRS?? GIVE ME YOUR MAPS NOW BITCH SIRS PLEASE?????"
Still, the worldbuilding is cool as fuck. I just hate how limited the research tree is.
Also Fallen Soldier is fucking busted. Literally Necrons all over again.

How many cities should I be aiming for and how do I get better units? Upgrading my city to tier 4 didn't give me anything. As for gold all I seem to be spending it on is military/ building upgrades.
>>
>>502975645
>How many cities should I be aiming for
Obviously more is better, but only if you can keep up with logistics, city happiness/stability, and make sure they're all defended properly. The later the game goes, the more important it will be to have multiple cities to feed your economy. Teleporters will be a necessity. Depending on your playstyle, you can substitute multiple cities with having strong allies, raiding and occupying other cities, or flat out murdering everyone before their economic war machine can build up.
>how do I get better units?
Upgrading your city tiers will eventually unlock all of the default units afforded to your culture. You can improve them with unit enchantments that you'll find in spellbooks. You will also unlock new units from spellbooks who can also be enchanted.
>As for gold all I seem to be spending it on is military/ building upgrades.
That's what it's there for. Paying for upgrades, paying for units, paying upkeep, trading between other leaders and Free Cities.

On the topic of happiness and stability are there specific buildings that boost it? How do I make a teleporter and when is a city too big? I've got one with 12 zones but my stability is awful.
>>
>>502995380
>On the topic of happiness and stability are there specific buildings that boost it?
Yes. The buildings may not be immediately available, so you'll have to tier up your city. Also the bigger your city gets, the more unstable it grows.
>How do I make a teleporter
You unlock them in the Empire Development Tree. It should be somewhere near the bottom of the gray path. It takes a long time to reach that point and costs a hefty sum of Imperium.
>when is a city too big
In theory, never, if you can keep it protected and stable.

Sadly not Jake because he left Firaxis after Midnight Suns was criminally underrated by the unwashed masses and they will pay, oh yes, they will pay. A slow and painful death for everyone who hasn't played Midnight Suns and doesn't think BG3 should win game of the year 2024 as well

MP on /domg/ is very kind, you should play desu
Also MP is fun since diplomacy and weird strats are par for the course
>>
>>503044821
I played enough dom to decide it's not for me. I assume because it's ultimately designed for MP games where you get days or a week between turns, so as a result it's just miles and miles of options and numbers and factors and modifiers to pore over, in attempt to give you something to do for those many hours before something happens.

But for me dom crossed the line into feeling exactly like doing homework.
