But nature strikes back relentlessly, as the integrated weather system simulatesdroughts as well as floods, which can wipe out your hard work within minutes if you haven’t planned your infrastructure wisely.
Complex chains of goods also challenge your logistical skills:As your settlement grows, the demands of your citizens increase exponentially, drawing you into an intricate network of supply chains.
