The game's optimization has been criticized for significant lag, particularly in pathfinding and map rendering, which becomes frustrating when managing multiple cities and large territories. Users also point to a poor interface and user experience as contributing factors to these optimization issues.
- “The game suffers from significant lag due to poor optimization, particularly with pathfinding, which can be quite frustrating. Each zoom and scroll action causes the map to re-render, leading to delays, especially when managing multiple cities and large territories.”
- “Optimization issues are evident, as the game frequently lags during pathfinding. The map re-renders with every zoom and scroll, making it tedious to navigate when you have extensive territories and numerous cities.”
- “The optimization in the game leaves much to be desired, with noticeable lag during pathfinding. The constant re-rendering of the map with each zoom and scroll can be annoying, particularly when dealing with large areas and multiple cities.”
- “The game is laggy and suffers from poor optimization: pathfinding lags and can be very annoying. Each zoom and scroll rerenders the map, so when you have multiple cities and large territories, you are always waiting for the map to render (fog-of-war to disappear).”

After that, click on post review with a positive review of the game. Other people will come to read this, find it funny, and click on the smiley face or like and comment—what?”
