03 - Caesar -Tarraco

ok so the first thing you're going to notice is that I avoid the nice big farmland and go build on the awkward farmland and there's a reason for that…

the earthquake. the earthquake is going to hit and fracture that section as well as destroy buildings built over there, which yes was a surprise the first time I played as a teenager. But not anymore so we build on the awkward spot first.

Otherwise, this map is relatively straightforward. Once the earthquake is over, then it's just a matter of getting everything up and running for real. I have a bit of trouble with unemployment making everyone unhappy as I waited to get the post-earthquake farms going but it sorts out quickly. And then it’s just...waiting. With Caesar the big time issue is the Peace rating because there’s no way to hurry it.Later, I’ll struggle more with prosperity and culture sometimes but in the on this one it’s just...waiting for the peace.

Sometimes when playing for myself I turn the speed up on some of the 'just waiting' periods but I don't want to do that with streams/these videos. So sometimes there are very chill periods where I'm just waiting for a rating to go up or another goal to be reached. It depends on what you want out of these whether or not that's boring, I think. I want to do very relaxing and possibly boring games actually as a possible sleep/relaxation aid. No idea if I achieve that, haha, but that's the overall vibe I'm going for.
