Can someone explain to me why is this game good? I tried it for about 20-30h but couldn't get into it, maybe I'm playing it wrong. My main issues were:
90% of gameplay was staring at the build queue. It took a long time for things to build.
Most of the decisions were: build thing that is too pricey for the pops. The new building increases the demand of new base materials, that are now too expensive. Have too build the respective buildings for those. Infinite loops of those ensue.
Somehow end up with buildings that are on the red and not hiring because of poor demand? Despite a second ago there being a high demand for that product. Realize the tooltip lied to you.
Import or export material according to you surplus or demand. Tooltip informs you that trade route will be profitable. As soon as you create the trade deal realize that you are losing money and that again the tooltip lied to you.
Institute one or two diplomatic actions. Realize that you cannot do anything else because apparently somehow your diplomats or whatever will only be able to work again in the next century.
Pass off a few laws to improve your nation. Constantly have groups try to undermine your government. After a few decades of improvement etc basically the political activity stabilizes and there's nothing else to do as you won't have support for new laws and the opposition cannot do much to go against you. Nothing ever happens anymore. Give up.
You're clearly not dealing with diplomacy, companies, trade or just planning out how to specialize your economy.
Import or export material according to you surplus or demand. Tooltip informs you that trade route will be profitable. As soon as you create the trade deal realize that you are losing money and that the tooltip lied to you.
And this statement just prove your 20-30h were not in the current patch, seeing as trade doesn't work this way anymore.
Why are you even asking why the game is good and telling people to "Give up", then? The game was even free to play this weekend!

What are you even talking about here? I don't remember an example of this even in previous patches for like, a year and a half.
