My (relatively minimal) hardware specs haven't changed; did something in the requirements go up and I missed it? It doesn't look like this is a common problem.

Another series of dittos here; a 'am I autoexploring or not?' visual cue would be the thing that is currently annoying me the most.

I like that it seems as stable in windowed mode as fullscreen. That's a big plus for me.

This game later froze when I was telling a city to make a road; not sure if it's reproducable.

This is one of those elements that can really make a game feel like belonging in a world; if there's a strong basic framework, it would also make it easier for modders to make distinct variants, wouldn't it? In any event, I would really like to see a heavy world/neutral faction presence in the game, especially combined with dynamic events.
