One thing that offers a great gameplay and is slightyl different that all the other strategic builders, is the modular buildings. For instance you can build your own churches, monasteries, castles, premium cities, with help of modular room blocks that can connect, or if desired, placed stand alone with eachother. It adds that extra for those who don't only love to play strategy, but also those who are a little bit into sandbox city building. I have been playing for 30 hours, far from finished, and I have played normal mode, and have 'nearly' unlocked everything. It offers an overseeable, maintainable gameplay, also strategically wise. You can play without trading if you want, if done strategically, of you can decide to go full trade mode. Both offers ways to make a lot of gold. There are a few things I would love to see change. Ocassionally, you get warnings. Like how certain buildings are unreachable. Or certain citizens needs specific needs. Or how certain goods are needed. It is a literal hell to find out what they mean, where they point the issue too. I wish they change this for the better, and that it becomes easier to adress issues the games throws at you. Another thing is the ( I really can't figure out how to solve this ) the promotion of villagers, the religious and the soldiers. Everytime they are promoted, they have everything they need. And there is no normal way to monitor this per villager. Resulting in constant leaving of promoted residents after a while. And if that happens, the economy in your city suddenly gets a big hit, that takes a lot to recover from. I do everything they want, and they still leave. I wish they could change it so they stop leaving, instead create a certain effiency penalty for each citizen if they don't get their needs. This is the only annoyance which keeps me from promoting anyone, leaving my cities looking a bit.. cheap.
