They’re kind of like quests or goals in a way.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
This encourages more natural settlement design, giving villages a lived-in appearance rather than a purely optimized one.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
