I love the new graphics, and tin distribution adds a great driver for trade. Bronze is great and the increased admin from upgraded structures seems to be enough that I don't feel the need for the tyranny mod anymore.
Main issue I've come across is that it has gotten very unresponsive after 5 or so settlements. My inputs just don't register much of the time, which is pretty frustrating. I'm using the respawning masklings mod and wonder if that is actually the issue, as there do seem to be a ton streaming at me nearly constantly. This is on medium continents with medium hostility.
