First off, the game is addicting. However, it seems there are a number of problems. I get my town population up to about 15 or so, and the game starts to lag. To the point, where even double speed is very slow. I saw one other post on this matter…and I believe it also happens when I begin to excavate the mountain side. My graphics are all turned down to the lowest settings. Is my PC just underpowered?
