I haven’t had time to build up a big city, but so far I’ve enjoyed it. I’m running on Linux with a 5600X + 6600XT, and 1080p at medium gets me 30-40 fps.
I LOVE that roads transmit power and water. Money is way more available early game than in 1. The only annoyance for me so far has been the terrain overlay that comes up when you select a zoning tool (similar to how selecting water pipes switches to underground. You can make it go back to normal by hitting i after selecting the tool. It’s minor, but its an annoying difference from 1.
Definitely easier to manage new/remote developments in this game. Government subsidies are also a nice hand-hold but I have no idea how it's calculated. Trains in C:S1 are super unprofitable, government investment makes it work well. (I've gotten subways can be profitable in C:S1 after lots of work).
I wouldn't mind the terrain overlays if it looked clearer with it selected, for some reason it was hard to use, especially at night.
That overlay has such bad contrast it’s hard to see what’s going on. Big accessibility issue.
