(Great game, I’ve put in lots of hours)
Playing on hardest difficulties, made it to year 54 with pop around 1500. Ran into two problems with the ‘condemned building’ mechanic. 1) My builders could not keep pace with repairs needed. I had around 80 assigned builders and not many projects on the go, mostly just to keep buildings from becoming condemned, but they could not keep up. Resources are plentiful; seems unbalanced. 2) The town center has no ‘repair’ button. When it became condemned, there was no way to cue the builders to prioritize its repair. Loss of Town Centre led to loss of housing value in area, and soon all my mansions were condemned. This led to a sudden housing shortage, and about 300 villagers freezing to death in the following winter. Seems broken.
