used the money on warhammer chaos gate and the great war western front
refunded both games again..... the great war because of the many complaints regarding the faulty strategic ai on the forum page, chaos gate mainly for power consumption reasoning, even at its lowest settings it demanded just above the 200Watts at 48 fps.... with 48 fps as my limit
the new bought games, hopefully some more sound choices than the last
1. Dredge
2. Signalis
3. Dust Fleet

had to pay 73 eurocents extra

Wow. After braver people than I have spent a week and a bit playing this, it seems:

* the game culls most of the people travelling to/from their workplaces, to make traffic flow better:

https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/the-traffic-system-is-a-cheat.1607017/

* no real need to place city services like fire/police/hospitals

* economy simulation is rigged to never allow your city to fail

* other things incomplete

...this game is basically a city map painter on easy mode. :(
But, that is not entirely a wrong thing, for now they still manage to hold the attention of at least 40k of people according to the steam charts. That must count for something i guess though.... i won't be among those any time soon.

For now i'll keep to HRC if i must build, though that one also seems to have a faulty citizen simulation. Guess i'll see what happens when the population reaches a decent number.
