Interesting poll!
I can’t really answer the first question tho. It depends on my mood I like it advanced cause I have more flexible options on big projects, but in between I really enjoy the early game. Sometimes I am happy when I end up in an advanced town, sometimes I am annoyed and would enjoy an eve town more key is to always find my own little project - or nice people! Then the stage of the town isn’t so important anymore.
Same here. I like the early stage, when nothing is there and you have to manage everything at once. But i also like it a bit later, when the tools are around and you can do your own little project. And then i like it, when there are different places and i can connect them with roads. So i have choosen those 3.
What i don’t like is, when a city is already half done and you don’t know if you can add something or not. Then i try to figure out who the owner of the place is, so we can team up
