Extremely poor performance on a 4080 & Ryzen 5900x.

FPS drops like a rock when simply rotating the camera. It stabilizes when the camera isn't rotating, but the middling level of graphics this game outputs should not be this demanding of the hardware.

The font choice is puzzling and makes for a very busy looking UI.

Right from the getgo, placing your town center presents you with a directive to place it near important resources. Makes sense so far.

It gives you a dynamically updating UI that is showing you several icons and whether those icons are green or red presumably indicates whether you'll have access to those resources close by.

However, for a new player, you have no context for what these icons are yet, what they do, and whether or not it's important to have them. You can't mouse over the icons to explain what they are until after you've placed your town center. Really big UI pitfall for a new player.

Played for a bit, but by comparison to other city builders both modern and old, I couldn't be motivated to make it through the poor performance. Don't doubt others may have a better experience.
