Good potential, but severely hindered by bugs

The game shows promise, but it's currently plagued with significant issues. Corrupted save files have forced me to restart multiple times, and the lack of cloud saves makes transitioning between devices frustrating—moving from my laptop to PC rendered my save files unusable. Additionally, the absence of instant research makes it difficult to properly test mechanics (what is the point of having a Sandbox Mode?) and the restart from scratch quickly becomes a chore.

Despite these issues, I'm giving a thumbs up because the game is on the right track. A well-implemented patch could make it testable, if not fully playable. However, as it stands, this is a true early access experience—treat it as such and temper your expectations accordingly.

Definitely an AE game, so buckle up, but beyond that, an interesting addition to the genre of Grand Strategy (6/10 for now). My biggest point: the economy needs some rework, with more depth and more control. For example, budget control with only low-high is boring/not challenging and KPI´s like Inflation are out of contact with reality with a simplistic mechanism behind it. Devs, I see this game as a real niche which I could really play for hundreds of hours....but.....make it more complex and realistic.

had to return the game because it would crash before even opening most of the time and the longest i could play for was 15 minutes before the auto save would cause it to crash, lots of promise in the future but unplayable in current state.
