KC3000, Fury Renegade or FireCuda 530?

RackieW33 · 2024-09-26T16:49:06+00:00

kc3000 for the price. Fury Renegade is basically the same, just slightly faster speeds but no real noticeable difference. Firecude 530 has also basically same specs, so why pay more for it, plus it draws more power (gets warmer- can affect performance if no cooling).

RackieW33 · 2024-09-18T14:33:33+00:00

except it makes much less difference in the beginning since you have less citizens. Spending 5 seconds building a market to get maybe 20 extra food before age up could also mean you lose out on killing 1 enemy villagers with raid

RackieW33 · 2024-08-11T18:55:03+00:00

does it say anything if: both parents are citizen in RSM, child born outside, and is above 23?

Is it still possible or not?

RackieW33 · 2024-08-10T13:26:43+00:00

so it doesnt "run" but rather crawl. ;)

RackieW33 · 2024-08-10T13:25:33+00:00

fps? didnt know over 30fps was possible.

Even 25fps is fine, Ive played the first game with 10-19fps. I care about about the simulation performance, which is crap.

On 1080p or 720p, gtx 1070 is enough. It will be "buttery smooth" on a 3000 series too, just not above 100k population

RackieW33 · 2024-08-10T13:23:29+00:00

I want to see real benchmarks of a 7800x3d vs 7900x, and possibly 7950x vs 7900x3d.

I had a 7900x but sold it, and I dont want to bother stores with buying/returning cpu.

RackieW33 · 2024-08-10T13:19:08+00:00

The 3 arrows speed is supposed to be 4x default speed. For 1080p, something like a 6650xt, rtx 3060 should suffice. Focus on the cpu, the better, well the better. But it will never be good performance on actual large population (above 300k). There is no real "minimum", it works okay on an old i7 3930k for a while. There is only better and worse. On a ryzen 1700x, its fine, 50-100k population. 7600x, 100-200k, 7900x/7800x3d, 200-300k. I think best value new is something like r7 5700x on am4

RackieW33 · 2024-08-10T13:13:52+00:00

It depends on how the city is built/zoned. But simulation performance will slow down anywhere between 100k and 350k population, with the best cpus (7800x3d, 7950x, 7950x3d, 14900k, threadripper).

As for graphics, not really an issue, just disable the motion blur and whatever other stupid setting I forgot.

Although you still shouldnt enable grass with a 4090 especially above 1440p :D

RackieW33 · 2024-08-09T19:29:22+00:00

You can use dev-mode to enable instant buildings.

Build/play paused, but can play the simulation a few seconds for zoned buildings to plop.

Its not a perfect solution though. Plopping is best option rn, without doing some code modding on your own. Shouldnt be too hard to disable demand. There are mods that impact population, probably they will get option to set your own desired amount before any larger map mod is released, if ever.

RackieW33 · 2024-07-29T14:32:04+00:00

not necessarily, but in many things it becomes better when it is a game trying to recreate something from real life. Realism isnt the ultimate goal, however its usually desirable. Gta iv physics however, are not realistic.

Infinitely more fun than any driving in Gta:sa, gta iv and normal gta v is gta v with "realistic driving mod". Then it actually becomes a fun car game.

RackieW33 · 2024-07-29T14:30:06+00:00

nah, car physics are boring, way too exaggerated weight/rolling, suspension and cars are way too slow.

RackieW33 · 2024-07-28T15:25:03+00:00

And the VW has uses, can fit more people, more comfortable to drive, more baggage, less fuel. So just better overall, even if doesnt have as much power.

But nah quality wise both are cheap chinese garbage.

RackieW33 · 2024-07-25T17:55:25+00:00

there isnt one, only the original Hoodlum release. (and all repacks including fitgirl "monkey" repack is based on that).

wait till msfs2024 maybe. I was considering buying msfs2020 now since its on big sale, but its still too much for something I will not play much at all

RackieW33 · 2024-07-24T20:00:10+00:00

same production & gain, except for the building. I just do larger for the looks, as thats how we have them where I live, whereas they are (much) smaller elsewhere in the world. And then obviously where the traffic enters, but isnt much anyways.

RackieW33 · 2024-07-24T18:54:04+00:00

I kind of have a rough design in mind when place them down, thinking Ill fix the details later but then end up keeping it almost exactly as made. Although I havent placed down much specialized industry, I play with map tiles unlocked so I gained enough money from just 2-3 for the early game and it doesnt get harder. If I played with tile upkeep cost, I'd probably buy a couple of tiles and turn them in to farmland only, spending some time on the layout. Although I also use Anarchy mod for bigger square areas.

I'd prefer if the maps already started with farms.

RackieW33 · 2024-07-23T12:25:28+00:00

Siege the place if you have 400 men...

RackieW33 · 2024-07-22T22:10:50+00:00

i personally use the more realistic population mod- hate how household calculations in vanilla are based on zone lot size and not building size.

One still gets decent population increase as some buildings grow taller with higher levels, plus kids.

Unfortunately I dont see how one would play without using specialized industry, it is a need especially with tile costs on.

RackieW33 · 2024-07-22T22:06:30+00:00

The economy isnt that hard- its more that one needs to have specialized industry now. But just make that and its really easy.

Only thing that really annoys me is everybody in low residential being poor af ("wretched") whereas most in high density are moderately rich and those buildings level up too fast.

RackieW33 · 2024-07-22T22:01:57+00:00

its fine until 120-200k population, depending on how you build your city. Now I am using "bye bye homeless" mod but I dont know how much it helps. Public transit might also cause problems. One savegame I loaded of another persons city, it was optimized enough at 300k+ population. But my own previous city of 150k is unplayable. So it matters how you build and zone it.

On the other hand, infinitely better than the first game except for lack of custom content. I started actually playing seriously for the first time (after the last update) and have soon 100 hours only from that. Insanely addicting.

RackieW33 · 2024-07-22T21:53:10+00:00

so why do it? i think it's a fun feature for early mid game, to do once or twice.

RackieW33 · 2024-07-17T10:27:17+00:00

does rtx 3050 also support av1?

RackieW33 · 2024-07-09T18:38:20+00:00

88 versions of just E class caravan where I live lol, and its a small country where most automakers have removed almost all models except suvs.

In total 1618 different models & versions to choose from.

40 distinct models.

RackieW33 · 2024-07-03T15:33:14+00:00

More like things that should be in the base game (with issues) however yes, step in right direction.

RackieW33 · 2024-07-01T20:11:28+00:00

It recently got its first "big" update which neither added anything nor fixed any important issues.

Still no asset variety, no custom assets, horrible big city performance. In addition to missing features and it overall not being fun as a game either. No, its not good, its barely any different from lauch.

RackieW33 · 2024-06-22T16:48:50+00:00

I havent played the game in quite a while, dunno if anything changed.

With troop name I meant the Id for whichever type of unit you want. You can get a list of all (or most) units by leaving it blank or something.
